FOOD FAINT

There's a rumbling 
In my tummy
Think I might grab
Something a little yummy

A donut...no I need salt
Some chips, a pickle to chomp
A banana, that's healthy
...oh no, I gotta go

I was healed, why now
Did I do something wrong
Help me, LOVE
I think I hate food

I just don't get it
Stomach problems, all my days
While others enjoy life
What am I not getting

...oh....fear....there you are

That's stupid...to THINK about food
When I'm free to eat
Ah, a set up from the beginning
To make us retreat

I do not desire what isn't for me
But I will take this journey, just to see
That fear has no hold that LOVE can NOT free
