Lyrics

HAVE NO FEAR
(Song for my Grandmother)

I watch you sleeping in the corner
As my Mother sits by your side
Grandfather’s looking for the paper
Needs some time with the TV Guide

I watch your body growing weaker
And your mind on a wild ride
I feel so helpless in my own skin
And this pain I can no longer hide

That’s when I hear you say as you wipe away my tears
I’m a child of the Almighty God and I shall have no fear
Have no fear, have no fear

Now your laughter fills my memory
There is nothing quite like your smile
You always said love lasts forever
Pain is only for a little while

But as your light, it starts to flicker
Hit my knees and I begin to pray
For the strength to face tomorrow
Ask my Father for another day

That’s when I hear you say as you wipe away my tears
You’re a child of the Almighty God and you shall have no fear,
Have no fear, have no fear

You said be understanding and to love one another
Do for yourself but first you gotta do for your brother
Well I’m trying harder now to be like my Grandmother

That’s when I hear you say as you wipe, as you wipe away my tears
You’re a child of the Almighty God and I shall have no fear,
Have no fear, have no fear

That’s when I hear you say as you wipe away my tears
You’re a child of the Almighty God and you shall have no fear,
Have no fear, have no fear . . . that’s what I say
