Let me go (revised)




If all are born fair and free-
 Why this darkness everywhere?
 This silent noise, this mad spree,
 I feel inside is hard to bear;
 I strain my eyes but all I see
 are blank walls of despair;

 Why I fell in this whirlpool?
 Who colored my world so grey?
 Am I just fate's tool?
 I search for answers all day;
 Am I wrong or just a fool?
 Give my Life, that's all I pray;

 What I did to creep in bondage?
 Let me know, then give the blow;
 Why am I to sleep in a cage?
 I want flowers, let me go;
 Let not sweat, let not blood,
 But dew drops cold, wet my brow;

 Why in murk I spend my Years?
 I am in fetters, I know not why?
 No more darkness, no more Tears;
 I want to hear the cuckoo's cry;
 No more empty dreams in fears;
 I want the sun, I want the sky;

 Fishes swim and butterflies fly
 And stars twinkle in the high;
 So let me go to feast my eye,
‘Fore I wave my last good bye
O! Let me go and feast my eye
 I will live my life and die..............
