Have No Fear

Song Meaning

The lyrics present a mantra of reassurance and positive affirmation, centered around the repeated phrase "Have no fear, be blessed to your heart." This opening sets a tone of spiritual or emotional comfort, suggesting a need for such solace. The subsequent lines, "Changes made, betimes toll payed," imply that difficulties or costs associated with transformation have been met and settled, reinforcing the idea that the fear is no longer warranted. The core message seems to pivot on the active creation of happiness and the arrival of a "kingdom." The repetition of "Make happy and have kingdom come" suggests that this desired state is not passive but requires intentional action. The line "True for you, be what you do" further emphasizes this, linking authenticity and fulfillment to one's actions and choices, implying that living in accordance with oneself will bring about this "kingdom." A fascinating element is the imagery of time and nature, particularly in the third stanza. "Say seasons be onto the day" and the reference to "Four to the one, to sunset, sunrise, run" evoke a sense of natural cycles and the passage of time. This cyclical view, where seasons transition and days unfold, might suggest that change is inevitable and that embracing these natural rhythms is part of the path to peace and fulfillment. The final stanza introduces a poignant contrast between the existing and the yet-to-come: "One child and children be unborn." This juxtaposition of present life and future potential, coupled with the phrase "heaven break," hints at a profound, perhaps even disruptive, arrival of new life or a new era. The call to "Make some work done" in this context suggests that this future requires effort and preparation, grounding the spiritual aspirations in tangible action and responsibility for what is to come.
