Love, not Fear

If fear is like a vacuum
Then love is like a fan
If fear can really blind you
Love can give you sight again

Fear can really suck you in
And control your very soul
But love can put you on the mend
So once again, you're whole

"Fear not" is in the good book
Time and time again
Perhaps we should take a look
And on that note, begin

To love one another, not fear
The ones who aren't like us
For they have a right to be here
Don't ask why... just because

If none of us were different
And we were all the same
We might remain indifferent
We'd all have the same name

But we complement each other
Just like the moon and sun
When I learn to love my brother
My true journey has begun

What if I find out one day
That I'm the only one
And all my friends and family
Have moved on, and gone

I'll have to ask a passerby
Or a stranger, that I did fear
To help me out along the way
I'll invite him to come near

And once I get to know the guy
My fear might go away
I need to get to know him now
I need to love, today
