Every mirror that I see
Death stares back at me
It talks to me so calmly, as if
Trying to share my pain with me
Sometimes I feel so scared and alone
Deceived by death and my life forlorn
I feel so lonely and all alone
It hurts more as I go along
Eats the flesh from within my core
Sometimes I wish so very bad
That you could see the mirror of my past
Share my sorrows and feel my pain
Take some weight off my chains
Oh! I think my prayers are answered
God has come to my rescue, I think
Church bells ringing on and on
Or! Are they my chains rattling again?
Who would commit to my soul?
For numerous lifetimes upon this world
Who would share this mirror of me?
Who would relieve me from this pain?
I would commit like a dog
You could train me like a horse
Make me work for what I am worth
But, release me! Release from these chains
Save me! Save me from the worldly pain
My soul flusters in a rage
Ready to leave for another cage
