    Facing Fear

     Oh 'gainst my trepid winds and foes
    I dare come out alive
    Far away from mountain tops
    I dare flee to the clouds 

    Oh 'gainst my twisted whims
    I dream of yesterday
    Facing fear and fighting fright
    Through the day
    And into the night 

    Oh forbearance I wish I had
    Wisdom some and patience too
    To endure the taste of fortune's bite
    I've sought it through and through
    And lost it out of sight 

    Oh sorrowed gains I seek
    Laughing from behind
    Growing ever weak
    I step into tomorrow
    And darkness is all I see
