Are you afraid
of the cockroaches that dance by night

Are you afraid
of the flying images up in the moon sky

Are you afraid
of creepy whistling of the bush you pass by

Are you afraid
of your escorting shadow that knows every secret of your heart

Are you afraid
of folk tales fashioned with unimaginable lies

Are you afraid
to give out your widows myth

Are you afraid
of the unknown forces and challenges of life

Are you afraid
of unfriendly time

Are you afraid
of where you might hide

Then step into the light
for the Shadow of God where we shall hide
is Everlasting Light unto our life
