Fret

Why is everyone upset?
I sink down in regret
I think of all the debt

We owe cuz of our sins..
Tossed down in trash bins
I am a dolphin without fins

I am down and about
I will rise above the doubt
There is an in, so there’s a way out

There is positivity to look forward to
I will try to be good to myself too
Holding on till the break of dawn times two

Delight will douse us with sweet dreams
We are swiftly tearing apart at the seams
he oceans of our miserable mindset
Burn the cowardice feelings and be brave instead of upset with regret

Why must we feel so much worthless fret?
We need some sort of optimistic outlet
The sweat of our lives is worth it I bet

Why are you and I not getting along?
Did I do you wrong? When will I belong?
Life is temporary like a typical pop song

We owe our praise to God Most High
Can’t deny the lies that make us cry
Replace it with truths and begin to fly

Can’t deny - we fret so much like a kid with an aching tooth
I long for spiritual touch and His truth
I miss the days of old in our youth
