Fear Not

Don't be afraid
When the darkness starts to fall
These hours are my cover
And I your comforter

Don't be afraid
When you find yourself alone
If fear stalks the lonely
Then fear not

In the glowing flame of a roaring fire
To the dreams where you toss and turn at night
In the gliding light underneath the door
In the eyes and knots of the wooden floor

As the silver curtain starts to move
In the dark that surrounds the waning moon
In the moments when you feel despair
It's okay, don't be frightened, 'cause I'll be there

Don't be afraid
I am there

In the dark embrace of a crooked wood
And it's writhing insects under foot
In the smell of the soil, the petrichor
In the neon felt of the forest floor

When the roots conspire to make a stair
When the slope is steep and treacherous
And the path well-trodden is swept away
Keep on, keep going, 'cause I'll be there

Don't be afraid
I am there

In the spots of light when you close your eyes
When the blackened sky is torn apart
And the rolling thunder starts to grow
As the dogs, they cower, their whimpers low

In the wind as it whistles through the leaves
A symphony that sounds in a minor key
In the corner where the dust collects
I am there, I am watching, I'm everywhere

Don't be afraid
I am there

Don't be afraid

Don't be afraid
