Gripping fear is haunting me,

Haunting me night and day,

Holding me back from flying free.

 

With the exams I cannot be happy,

Got to work. There is no other way.

Gripping fear is haunting me.

 

No lake of peace as far as I can see,

But the troubled sea rages away,

Holding me back from flying free.

 

Although I can cross the furious sea,

While hope sends out a ray.

Gripping fear is haunting me,

Holding me back from flying free.
