Fear Is a Liar
Fear is like a dragon, spitting a flame
The media are now doing the same
Controlled by evil, to seep in your soul
It will certainly take its brutal toll
It will burn you, hurt you, and even kill
Faith must prevail with a strong inner will
Kick the fear to the curb, have courage now
This will save you and won’t break the bough
Try not to give in to the fear today
Take one step at a time, to find your way
No matter how broken, you are okay
We are in this together, come what may
