The Voyage of a Sailor

     
                               
                               Voyage of a Sailor

                           I am a storm-stricken sailor
                            In search of a tiny hangar
                   To heal my woes, sorrows and strains:
                      O Lord, set me free from my pains;

                   My voyage has braved dunes of sand,
                   On my way I`ve encountered friends
                       Eager to hurl me down a drain:
                  O Lord, set me free from my pains;

                     My voyage has been a long tale
                   Of struggles against stormy gales
           That on my flesh have stamped their stains:
                 O Lord, set me free from my pains;

                      My voyage has been a battle
              Against wild waves where I scrambled
                 To keep my vessel safe and sane:
               O Lord, set me free from my pains;

                  All along my strenuous voyage
                I`ve eyed the sky at every stage
          And whispered your hymns from my brain: 
               O Lord, set me free from my pains;
               
                   I gaze at the divine heaven
                  In space beyond the horizon,
               My soul is jailed with molten chains:
               O Lord, set me free from my pains;

                   My voyage is close to its end
              My wounded heart I yearn to mend
                  I try my soul to loose in vain:
              O Lord, set me free from my pains.
