I am not afraid
I am not afraid of
what comes next in life
simply I have to wait and see
of matters that come by
It's like I'm in a haze
I can't see yet what's coming
though sometimes I see a rag
but an overview is missing
The only thing I can do
is to take the wheel of faith
in both my hands and understand
there is only one way
Forwards and in trust
believing that what's happening
occurs cause it's significant
for a purpose higher than me
