Though latent fear wears a mask
The mask will slip from time to time
And when a person is so fortunate
As to be unmasked—at long last
Guess what we shall see?
We shall see
Pillars of strength in need of shoring up
And once a person embraces the ability
To walk about, free of that mask
Guess what will stop slip-sliding all over thin ice?
Peace of mind
And so Kemosabe
If you're in the habit
Of bending over backward to do good deeds
While fear plays hide and seek
Behind your bright, young smile
Let's hope that mask slips off
Before too long
So that you, too, can be true to yourself through and through
And as we learn
That chasing blues away
Depends less upon
Capturing bad guys
And more upon
Identifying yesteryear's unresolved fears
Let's mount our might steeds
And make good use of our voices
To spread the word around the world ...
With a high spirited—
High Yo, Silver—away!
