Fear

My darlin, we’re children. Here in our hearts
are secrets that no tongue can tell.
How did we become men, playing our parts?
Still how we long to be held.

I know so surely when you are near
That love is stronger than fear.

Each cycle, each spiral whirls us around,
stinging and clouding our sight.
Just when I feel lonesome, your voice will sound.
You keep me safe through the night.

I know so surely when you are near
That love is stronger than fear.
