Let's face the fear!

You are not afraid of the storm,

You are afraid of its disaster,

You are not afraid of the jump,

You are afraid of falling faster..

You are not afraid of the fire,

You are afraid of getting burnt,

You are not afraid of acting stupid,

You are afraid of losing the respect you have earned..

You are not afraid of the darkness,

You are afraid of what's in it,

You are not afraid of fighting your misery,

You are afraid of being hit..

You are not afraid of the heights,

You are afraid of the fall,

You are not afraid of speaking the truth,

You are afraid of answering it to all..

You are not afraid of giving an exam,

You are afraid of its result,

You are not afraid of taking someone's side,

You are afraid of its insult..

You are not afraid of the water,

You are afraid of the drown,

You are not afraid of climbing high,

You are afraid of looking down..

You are not afraid of answering a question,

You are afraid of answering it wrong,

You are not afraid of commitment,

You are afraid of not obeying it for long..

You are not afraid of facing your fears,

You are afraid of trying,

You are not afraid of risking your life,

You are afraid of dieing..

So let's face all our fears today,

Let's punch them all on their face,

Let's defeat them in the court of life,

And let's be the judge of our own case!
