Far From Fear

In uneasy years
   everything seems threatening
The walls can't drown out 
   the sounds which terrify us 
Let us move far from fear 
   We need strength to
conquer the demons within ang without
We must lift up our eyes 
see the sun and clouds above
Hope ane pray that there is
a power that preserves
We are in a small boat 
   in turbulent waters
With faith as our guide 
Our small ship heades towards home

This has so much truth to it. We are all the same, on our small planet and only holding onto our faith!!
