Mark Shepard "Clear The Fear" (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

Life In Song #352 (042320.4 CTF SONG EDIT 12 MIX10)
This is a song with a specific purpose: To help my anxiety clients (and myself) to hold the line in the face of scary stuff.

We are all faced with some pretty scary stuff right now...

Falling apart and being hijacked by our fear is NOT a solution. We HAVE to dig down deep and USE this moment to make ourselves and our world better. This is a healing crisis and it is unwanted but possibly necessary for us to get to the break THROUGH point.

I wish I could say healing is "easy" it is often NOT easy. And that's why it is so hard and so valuable for our growth in the long run. And yeah most people don't want to hear that. But look back at your own life. Look at the hardest times and the best things that emerged from that. My hope is that my music can help you. It's pretty much all I've got to offer. So please give it a chance.

thanks! - Mark

lyrics

Clear The Fear
Song #352 | 5/7/06 | Recorded April 2020 | Released 5/3/20

Are you feeling frightened, even terrified?
I see you there shaking, looking petrified
Your gut it churning, your mouth is dry
Your hands are sweating, like you’re gonna die
Fear has the power to tear you to shreds
But you have the power to diminish the dread
What were you thinking that caused you see
The worst that could happen and wish you could flee?

Refrain:
Clear the fear
Move towards the rewards
Dislodge the sabotage
Get your dream out of the garage
Get out of your own way
It could happen here today…
It could happen today.

You might not know this but you’re in charge
You’re the one who makes the monster large
So what would happen if you shrank it down
Or maybe even turned off the sound?
You have the power to turn it around
Cut yourself loose from what’s been dragging you down
Float out to the future and then take a look back
See yourself making progress, free from attack

Refrain:

So what will happen when you clear your fear?
Will you be closer to those you hold dear?
Will you make more money? Will you have more fun?
Will you have the courage to get things done?
Thoughts have the power to destroy or create
Now what was that habit that you wanted to break?
I feel like I know you though we’ve only just met
Give yourself permission to take the next step and…

Refrain:

Welcome to my “Life In Song” project.

Since 1976, I’ve been obsessively and compulsively writing songs. Some of them are inspired by my own life, my attempts to understand love, life, spirituality, peace and justice.

While I recently have started to get a little recognition, you’ve probably never heard my songs ANYWHERE.

But now you can hear them... here... Download. Share. Thanks! ... more
