Sarah McLachlan - Fear

Morning smiles

Like the face of a newborn child

Innocent unknowing

Winters end

Promises of a long lost friend

Speaks to me of comfort

But I fear

I have nothing to give

I have so much to lose

Here in this lonely place

Tangled up in our embrace

Theres nothing Id like

Better than to fall

But I fear I have nothing to give

Wind in time

Rapes the flower trembling on the vine

Nothing yields to shelter it

From above

They say temptation will destroy our love

The never-ending hunger

But I fear

I have nothing to give

I have so much to lose

Here in this lonely place

Tangled up in our embrace

Theres nothing Id like

Better than to fall

But I fear

I have nothing to give

I have so much to lose

I have nothing to give

We have so much to lose...

I can't even examine this song right now. Tears stream down my face, gather under my chin and soak my shirt. I know this song like I know an old friend, and, yet, it can still evoke such forceful and unconditional emotion from me. Alone, it's a powerful poem. With music, it can bring me to my knees and face-to-face with my own terrible fears. Lament and trepidation consume me right now...
