FEAR

2006 Lori Franke

I can hear you calling for someone.

I can see your tears in the dark.

I can feel the desperation from within your heart.

I can whisper I do love you.

I can wipe your tears away.

I can hold you close and tell you it’ll be okay.

Fear – Fear is their only crime.

Fear – Will they run out of time.

Fear – What do they have to lose?

Fear – When none of them get to choose.

I can hear your heartless compassion.

I can see your feeble attempts.

I can feel the chill in your soul as I taste your contempt.

I can scream – how dare you, you monster.

I can publish your terrible lies.

I can persecute all your actions ‘til you’re paralyzed.

Fear – You make the innocent bleed.

Fear  -- It gives you the power you need.

Fear – It’s everything you like to spread.

Fear – but would they be better off dead…

Musical break

I can hear those Angels - they're singing

I can see them dancing above

I can feel the broken hearted now receiving love

No more screaming - how dare you you monster

I won't share your terrible lies

I'll just watch you suffer greatly while you're penalized...

Fear- the beauty of who's mighty and strong.

Fear- the strength of your power is gone.

Fear- what you have is coming due.

Fear- you'll feel- when justice comes back on you.
