This ends a long time without a complete new song. It took the first tropical storm winter hurricane in known meteorological history, but here it is.

lyrics

The Fear of Facing Trouble
words and music by Michael Alan Silverstone
© 2012 Mr. Silverstone Music Publishing

We might sell our souls for nothing
with choices that we make
when I can’t endure the waiting
that's when I make my worst mistakes
Well no one knows what time may hold
but for me my heart just aches
when the fear of facing trouble
gets to be much more than than
I think I can take

An angel's spirit came to me
I saw her in a dream
Afraid of what would slip away
said things I didn’t mean
When I awoke I realized
what I ‘d been thinking of
the fear of facing loneliness
I traded for a chance to live in love

Oh, It never mattered
what seemed like such a big deal
at the time

The Sherriff of Nottingham
rides into everybody’s life
in some form or another he will lead you to discover
The costs of both the wrong and the right
But going along is not always right
and getting along’s not wrong
when the fear of facing trouble
closes out the choice to live in. . .

Beliefs can lead to habits
and habits lead to choice
and choices lead to consequences
that tend to still the voice
well that may be but I don’t see
why we so often choose
the fear of facing trouble
the fear of facing trouble
the fear of facing trouble
not the choices that we have to live in love
oh
