THE ROOM OF FEAR

Come out of the room of fear
And you will find a strength to cheer
…you into a vehicle whose determination steer
…is made to strengthen your will

II
Come out of that room of your fear
And you will see the nightmares
…as mere scarecrows
You’ll find your hallucinations as mere harmless shadows
And you’ll find yourself on top of the problems
…which drove you in there

III
For you’re made of fire
And of air
You’re made with a spirit
And a soul to steer
You’re made of bones
And hardened stones
There is nothing too daunting
If you square your shoulders
…and face it squarely

IV
So come out
Sweetness just step out
Oh my darling gather that last bit of your will and come out
To receive the greetings of bravery
And the ovations of conquerers
Waiting to star your rise
…to push your fall into a history
…whose dust can only make diggers dirty
