Once the world was happy, Love and Joy, they danced around. Then in crept Insecurity and Doubt to strike them down. Their attack was not direct, No, much more devious They acted like they cared for them When they were there to bury them. "I'm only looking out for you" "Trust me, I know what's best" They slowly gained their trust, and well I'm sure you know the rest. "You look rather silly dancing with Love like that" Insecurity hissed. Doubt cried, "Joy's better off without you, you surely won't be missed!" Now Joy never leaves her house, Doubt has her trapped in there and that evil Insecurity has Love tied to a chair.

When Doubt Creeps In
Once the world was happy, Love and Joy, they danced around. Then in crept Insecurity and Doubt to strike them down. Their attack was not direct, No, much more devious They acted like they cared for them When they were there to bury them. "I'm only looking out for you" "Trust me, I know what's best" They slowly gained their trust, and well I'm sure you know the rest. "You look rather silly dancing with Love like that" Insecurity hissed. Doubt cried, "Joy's better off without you, you surely won't be missed!" Now Joy never leaves her house, Doubt has her trapped in there and that evil Insecurity has Love tied to a chair.
