Cover art for Fear lyrics by Sarah McLachlan

I think she's afraid of messing up as a mother. She also talks of shelter from above, if she can bring herself to accept God's embrace and therfore shelter from all things negative. (Remember she wrote this song for a movie about a falling angel). I think the ultimate fear in this song is letting go and to trust that you can find away through with God and those you love even if you don't know what you bring to the equasion.
