Daylight falls upon the path, the forest falls behind
  Today I am not prey to dark uncertainty
  The shadow trembles in its wrath, I've robbed its blackness blind
  And tasted sunlight as my fear came clear to me
  I think I understand
  Fear is like a wilderland
  Stepping stones or sinking sand
  Now the way leads to the hills, above the steeple's chime
  Below me sleepy rooftops round the harbor
  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 and 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 or sinking sand
