it's pretty marvelous to be able to hear a voice for the first time in years with the click of a button. thanks for imagining, writing, documenting, and sharing Caitlin!

Afraid of the water
My baby, don’t cry
It’s a natural fear
The shadows appear
Your feet dangling over

Now I’m building a boat
Just your size
No room for me
But look over and see
Me waving from the shore

You can go anywhere
You can go anywhere
You can go anywhere
Oh, I know it’s hard to believe

Frightened of monsters
Darling, so am I 
We both know they’re real
Hungry for their next meal
Clawing at the door

So I’m drawing a circle
Around the bed
Now you make up a rhyme
Say it three times
Pull the blanket up to your chin

You can go anywhere  
You can go anywhere
You can go anywhere
But you have to believe

Trying to grow a garden
The ground is so hard
It threatens to break
Surely it’s a mistake
To waste such precious seeds

I’ll remove all the stones
Rearrange them one by one
Building a room
Where you can bloom
Roses growing from the floor

You can go anywhere  
You can grow anywhere
You can go anywhere
If you try to believe
But you have to believe
Oh, I know it's hard to believe


Natural Fear
