Let Me Be

(Lyrics written by Susan Hanaford)
Music written and recorded by Jeffrey and Susan Hanaford
SHINE YOUR LIGHT ON FEAR
WATCH IT DISAPPEAR
REVEALING ONLY LOVE
FITS ME LIKE A GLOVE

I won't be listening to you anymore
Endless assault of negative thinking
I've had it up to here in chronic fear
Incessant chatter pushing me to excel

If it were up to you
I'd play it safe in a stew
It's in the space between the thoughts
That I am safe from you

Why don't you let me be
There's only room for one inside of me
Why don't you let me be
I have no need to fight or flight
Why don't you let me be
There's only room for one inside of me
(you are the stain on all humanity)
(You never seem to give up easily)
Why don't you let me be
I have no need to fight or flight

You try to tell me I'm exceptional
Separate and better than all of the rest
But I know God does not choose favorites (his love)
Eternal love is unconditional

Why must I fight or flight
When there is ne'er a wolf in sight
This venom fear is killing me
A parasite that I can't see

I choose
Love over Fear
Peace over War
Tolerance over Judgement
Faith over Doubt
Hope beats Despair
Acceptance not Denial
Into the Light
Out of the Dark
We must Unite and not Divide
Have Less Be More
