Doubts

There is a time before victory
When all your doubts crowd in
They jostle for space
They won’t leave a trace
For any light to get in

You will spiral
You will swirl
You’ll feel the pull of the drain
Down you’ll go into the dark
But you know what
You’ll come up again

Cause life is lightness
And there is hope
As long as you believe
You will get up
And dust yourself off
Anything’s possible
If you believe

Any creation will come at a cost
It must triumph over fear
You will have to put yourself out
Yes you will my dear

You will have to risk it all
You must risk the chance of failure
It may be a spectacular fall
But God, you must do the labour
Because you know
If you succeed
No price will be too much
For all your pride and false pretenses
Of never caring too much

Your creation whatever it be
A creation of true love
A thing of beauty
Not happenstance
A labour of real love

The joy that comes from that creation
Will make it all worthwhile
All the pain and doubts before then
Will disappear with just a smile

So when you feel the doubts crowd in
They try to snuff out your hope
Just keep going because my love
Where there’s light, there’s hope

You must risk it all you know
You must lay it on the line
If you don’t then you can just
Keep stepping on the mines.
