Don’t be afraid to greet the new day with tears still fresh in your eyes
Don’t be afraid to hear the hard truth instead of the sweetened soft lies.
Don’t be afraid to wear the real face that each day you cover with art
Reveal to your peers the unfathomable fears that incarcerate your heart.

Don’t be afraid to sing out aloud like no-one can hear your soul scream
Don’t be afraid to dance in your mind and move to the rhythmical dream.
Don’t be afraid to speak of your pain out loud to yourself in the dark
For there is the place that honesty thrives and angels do listen and hark.

Don’t be afraid to stand by yourself and wander through life on your own
Don’t be afraid to give up the fable and journey the voyage alone.
Don’t be afraid to cast off the shrouds and walk within sunlight once more
For there is the freedom so easily taken for those who are privy to lore.

Your days on this earth are numbered as sure as the fingers upon your right hand
So open your heart and let fly of your soul for all you will nigh understand
The pain that you fear will soon disappear and with it a new strength will come
And then you will be the person that’s free ‘til the sands of your time have all run.
