Better So Much Better--

Freedom a space in time;
Left, with only sadness;
I only have vibes;
For happiness ever after;
Trapped in a world of madness;
Slavery got me behind;
The wings of the lamb;
If I help you along;
Don't thank me for my kindness;
Just join me in the song;
Take me from this fine mess;
Applaud me in my cleverness;

"trapped in a world of madness." Exactly right. Take a good look at the first line James.
