Fear, Terror, being afraid... being VERY afraid!!!

Fear

Fear, so much fear...
Living, growing undefined
Feeding on my fragile mind
That’s Fear
Telling me I just can’t cope
I'm frightened and I’m losing hope
Because of Fear, so much fear...

This demon living in my Soul
A feeling that I’ve lost control
That’s Fear
Panic roots me to the spot
For Fear of losing what I’ve got
And that is Fear, so much fear...

Afraid of letting slip the mask
Of being equal to the task
That is my Fear
Afraid of losing grace or face
I hide away in inner space
Because of Fear, so much fear...

(Chorus)
Can’t live with it
Can’t live without it
Wish there was something
I could do about it
Some say Faith is
What overcomes Fear
But I doubt it
Why should belief
Give me relief from this Fear?

Longing for a loving touch
Afraid that I’ve been hurt too much
That is my Fear
Full of anguish and distress
Of feelings that I can’t express
Because of Fear, so much fear...

Afraid to do - afraid to be
Afraid to fight - afraid to flee
That’s Fear
Afraid to live - afraid to die
Afraid to fail - afraid to try
That’s Fear, so much fear...

(Chorus)
Nothing seems to stem the tide
Of terror that I feel inside
It’s my Fear
Petrified of everything
Afraid my soul will never sing
Through Fear, so much fear...

Maybe I might be found out
A pilgrim on a roundabout
That’s Fear my old friend Fear
'Cos if I had never been afraid
Then surely I would not have prayed
No Fear - take away my Fear
Take away my Fear
Take away my fear
