absence of fear
8:56 pm - April 19, 2004
Well, I did it-- I managed to write a song that I actually like. It's a capella. I thought about putting piano to it but I like it a capella. It's called "Absence of Fear".
I am surfacing in a constant sea of days
Struggling in this wave of life
I try to clear my thoughts
But there's always more to feel
I should let this go
I hesitate and sink
And my sisters cry
We will be torn but not forever
Among the corners of the earth
And we will live and love
And laugh and cry
We are standing here
In the absence of fear
I am face to face
With my impurity and insecurity
I am not a perfect girl
The few who see past the smile
Know I could be dying inside
And my sisters cry
We will be torn but not forever
Among the corners of the earth
And we will live and love
And laugh and cry
We are standing here
In the absence of fear
I'm letting go
Releasing all the hours that I've held inside
The future's nestled in
My aching, searching, finding hands
And I feel like I
Could see this through
And finally understand
The reason why the seasons change
And I will laugh and cry
And know that I
Am standing here
In the absence of fear
