Joni Mitchell
Daylight falls upon the path,
the forest falls behind
Today I am not prey
to dark uncertainty
The shadow trembles in its wrath,
Ive 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 steeples chime
Below me sleepy rooftops
round the harbor
Its there Ill 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
Ill challenge them with flashes
from a brighter time
Oh, I think I understand
Fear is like a wilderland
Stepping stones or sinking sand
