    Fear, a devil's trap
    *
    What's that fear inside you;
    He's stealing your confidence so what!
    He's not really there like he seems
    He's a ghost story don't let him scare you
    Morning you'll laugh at him with a crown

    Fear is the first coward afraid of success
    Remember we're all chasing o'clock here
    The road is long winding and full of thorns
    Remember you've been here before
    Strike three you'll be really out

    Before o'clock strike how many times
    are you going to let fear step all over you
    Take a road less travelled, beat the thorns
    On the other side of the finish line join joy
    Before o'clock strike fear is long gone

    Like all ghost stories he was not really there like he seemed, laugh now the race is done

    Fear a fragment of your imagination
    Hiding in the dark pouncing weaknesses
    Scolding the smell of roses at your torch
    Bringing in butterflies that are attracted by your bright light to kill your zest to win
