Fear Woman

[Intro] In the mirror, a shadow grows tall Footsteps soft, but the heart hears the call [Verse 1] Fear woman, quiet like a storm at night Her gaze cuts through the candlelight I lock the doors, I count to ten But all the doubts keep knocking again [Pre-Chorus] If I speak, will she answer me back Or will the silence swallow what I lack [Chorus] I’m afraid of the fear inside her eyes Afraid of the pride she wears like skies I’m chasing courage, it slips away Until the dawn breaks the hold of the gray [Verse 2] She wears a strength I barely understand A force that bends, then holds my hand I’m learning that fear and power can share Two shadows dancing in the same air [Pre-Chorus] If I step closer, does the fear retreat Or does it warm the wounds I try to keep neat [Chorus] I’m afraid of the fear inside her eyes Afraid of the pride she wears like skies I’m chasing courage, it slips away Until the dawn breaks the hold of the gray [Bridge] Maybe fear isn’t foe but a mirror kept Reflecting the battles we’ve never wept If I span the gap, if I stand tall I’ll find strength to answer fear’s call [Chorus] I’m no longer afraid of the fear inside her eyes I’m learning to breathe beneath the skies I’m chasing courage, it stays by my side Till morning comes and love becomes my guide [Outro] Fear woman, you’re not my end, you’re my test I’ll walk through the dawn, I’ll give it my best
