LYRICS
The demons won’t let him alone
Try n’ make it so there’s no comfort at home
(No comfort zone)
When you lay down the music solid and thick
You can raise the the dead to think quick

You can stop that dog
In it’s tracks
Ain’t no opinion
It’s a matter of facts

You can pave the way
No look-backs
Layered like onion
Fills the void… that lacks

This song is about the power of music. There is a man in West Chester known as “chicken man” because he hides his face and fears all. While he was walking by, a pit bull stopped dead in his tracks when he heard me writing this song on guitar. Music calms the savage beast.

LYRICS
Hope the youth are doing well
Are the rest damned to hell?
Only time will tell

We poison their well
With products we sell
Bring on a thick sick spell

Chorus

Discontent we quell
With cracked liberty bell
Until freedom fell

Food for thought
Fear not
Fear not
Fear not God

Fear not
Fear not
Romans wrought
Smear a lot

All love
All love
Nothing odd
With loving God

Fear not
Fear not
Fear not God

She’s a beautiful sensation
Sure beatin’ damnation
A hell of a gal
She’s a beautiful sensation
Sure beatin’ damnation
Bring well to us all

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — Capo 5
Em
C Am Em
Em G

This song was inspired by a woman holding a sign in downtown West Chester. One side of the sign said, “Sin is death. Christ is life. Romans 6:23”

However, her quote is taken out of context. The Bible actually reads:

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

On the other side of the sign, it read “Fear God”.

LYRICS
Just hit the panic button
That’s all you need do
Just hit the panic button
For an aid parade to you

You tune into the news
Things you’re seeing
Giving you the blues
Lightning! Fire!
Armageddon desire?
You tune into the news
The things that’re being
Making us lose
Frightening! Liar!
The Evil Empire

This song was inspired by an Eyewitness News Channel 3 Philadelphia crew filming in West Chester, PA.  And, since I invented the panic button for the world wide web, it seemed like an entertaining idea.

LYRICS
If you are living in fear
Thinking the end is near
Let it be forgot
’cause it’s not
But, can’t you see the tragedy
Living in slow, lingering misery

There could come the day when you pray
The End is near
But, for now there’s nothing to fear

So, if we can steer clear
We can see through tragedy
We’ve got to see it
We’ve got to do it
Follow through
Me and you… let’s do!

We can make every day a little brighter
We can make love a little tighter
We can do it if we choose
I don’t think anyone would rather lose?

LYRICS
Are you afraid to open your door
See people hurting like never before
Are you afraid to answer the phone
Hear the moan become a constant drone

Are you afraid to show your face
Tired of being made a public disgrace
Are you afraid to communicate
The wrong way on a one-way
Bombarded with hate, hate, thate

Then, please don’t hesitate
To call on God. Let Her mediate.

The place is here. The time is now.
Believe She’ll hear… She does somehow

God’s good grace. The mercy upon you.
Redeem your scene to heavenly… see!

Why not fear not?

Fear It .MP3 Download and Lyrics

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”
— Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR)

ABOUT THIS SONG
The FDR quote always seemed a little strange to me. After all, what else can you fear? Fear isn’t sweet. Fear isn’t sour. Fear is fear.

Halloween is a time of year when you get to think about fear. If you think about all the frightening things, the thing that should be feared the most is probably human. Humans kill humans. Humans kill their habitat. Maybe we should be a little afraid of what we are doing? Maybe the quote should be “The only thing we have to fear is fear ourself”?
