It’s so easy to say do not be afraid
Until we are faced with an overwhelming situation
When our best friends seem to become anxiety and dread
And they bring to us a sense of hopelessness and desperation
But we do not have to give into our fear
Even when the challenges seem too much to bear
We are never alone in our struggles and our pain
We have our own inner weapons to protect us from despair
We have within ourselves the power to overcome
We have the strength we need to succeed
Find that seed of hope that lives in your heart
And the waves of fear will be forced to recede
It may take a great deal of digging
To find our hope amidst the rubble of our pain
But the seed is there waiting to sprout and grow
Waiting to give us a new dream to attain
