000232           030030
Daylight falls   upon the path


020030                 000233  000232
the forest falls be-   hind


030030    020030   000232
Today I   am not   prey to dark un-


030030    000232   030030   000232   000030
certain-  ty     


000232                030030
The shadow trembles   in its wrath


020030                      000233  000232
I've robbed its blackness   blind


030030       020030      000232
And tasted   sunlight    as my fear came


002030      002020   002030   002020
clear to    me                         Oh


020003             000233   000232
I think I under-   stand


030030   020030              
fear            is like a    


000233   000232   000230
wilderland


030030      020030   002030
stepping    stones         or


000233   000232   000230
sinking sand

Additional verses:

Now the way leads to the hills
above the steeple's chime
Below me sleepy rooftops round the harbour
It's there I'll take my thirsty fill
of friendship over wine
Forgetting fear, but never disregarding her

Oh, I think I understand
Fear is like a wilderland
Stepping stones or sinking sand

Sometimes voices in the night
will call me back again
Back along the pathway of a troubled mind
When forests rise to block the light
that keeps a traveler sane
I'll challenge them with flashes from a brighter time

Oh, I think I understand
Fear is like a wilderland
Stepping stones and sinking sand
