This song is on the Volume 5 album

Love or Fear

I have thought for a long time that the two foundational emotions are love and fear and all other emotions are subsets of one or the other. This song tries to express that. The words were written before the chords were developed for it.

Love or Fear

E A E A
There are things that all mean love. All mean love
E A E A
Compassion, trust, acceptance, compromise - all mean love
E A B7
You should ask if this is you

There are things that all mean fear. All mean fear
Rejection, hatred, avoidance and mistrust - all mean fear
Ask yourself if this is you

G                      Bm    D                        G
Deep down inside, you are going to find
G                      Bm                              C         B7
Love or fear rules your heart and mind

It is hard to see yourself real clear. See yourself
Whether you live love or give in to fear. Love or fear
You must discover which is you

G                  D
In the end, love conquers all
G                            C                         B7
Walk away from fear or take the fall 

Not in the song…
If you want more than you need
Fear will have you in the form of greed
Let it go and notice how you feel.
