Free My Spirit

Trapped in cycle of never ending peril I turn to you

In agony and turmoil, I look for an escape

Someone to help me break these damning chains and set me free

 What part of this unlivable existence did I deserve?

Which god or higher power have I angered enough to inherit such defilement?

I am trapped in a dungeon of my own creation

Stuck in a highway traffic jam with no exit

I cannot move forward yet I cannot turn around

I see the red and blue lights flashing up ahead but they are not to rescue me

I am alone- afraid- damaged beyond recognition

Just as the crumpled heap of metal and glass blockading the road before me

Only you can bring be out of this desolate land

Take me to places bright and green and full of life

Teach me to live and not just to exist

I need your kind love and encouragement now

Love is only an illusion- created by the fear of being and dying alone

I cannot give you my heart- I cannot give you my soul

I want to surrender to your powerful embrace

To melt into your arms and entangle with your body

But alas I cannot escape my prison home

Free me, I ask you to grant my release

Give me pardon from the hell I am lost in

The fire so hot I wish I could die but my soul cannot die

I am reaching for you in the depths of the night

In the darkness so thick, I am blinded by fright

Shine a light into my abyss and pull me up so that I may see-

So that I may live once again in a world that is free

I need you now… I need you now

Can you not hear me calling?  Can you not hear me crying?

I need you now… I need you right now

Save me my love-, you know not what you mean to me

I turn to you in my lifetime of need

Free me- unshackle me from him- and take me.
