Stress

Set me free from the bondage you have
You wrapped me in and never let me out
Contagious disease swallowing me whole
To your expense I am not adjourn

Carry me over to where you rest
I beg you please to set me free
Without much further ado
Freedom I pray to bestow upon my feet.

Long days are coming 
Seasons are fast approaching
I have quit to see the beauty of thee
Coz your bondages hid my eyes to peek

Tormented soul of thine
To your wilderness of foreign land
I have come to seek emancipation
Yet you moved it to a capital N-O

Why does your wings cover me
To the light of tomorrow that the world brings in
Are you jealous of it
Or you just want me be swallowed by your melancholic sea.

Free me I say
Free me I pray
Free me from your total darkness
Free me from the growling tears of stress.
