"Your Own Hand"

Fear of the anguish,
Fear of the pain,
Runaway world
Going insane.
How do we stop it,
How does it cease,
Grasping at straws
To find the peace.
No miracle worker
To take by the hand,
You take the steps
To travel your land.
But it's what we want:
A fix or a pill,
The effort to get there
Is tackle the hill.
The way to achieve it,
Just open your heart,
Accept all the pitfalls
And begin to start.
