Every mirror that I see

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
