The call
Please, I am begging you,
Forgive me.
I know I must have done something to deserve this.
Maybe I am still doing it,
I know
Forgive me!
There is nothing else for me,
just you and my faith
All the rest is just emptiness
everywhere I look.
I have faith in your way,
it is your path that I want to make mine.
But I will never know how.
My soul is aching.
The pain too strong for me,
The burden too much.
I'm afraid I'm not worthy to carry your burden.
I do not know what to do with it.
Please, forgive me,
and take it away from me!
Put me back down
I am too human to survive at this height
without air.
Can't you see? Can't you see?
I am too small and tormented
too weak to be able to hold on to these wings
Just forgive me now!
Let me be a little happy again
a little earthly happiness, the kind that I know.
Don't ask me to fly again!
I am afraid.
Don't ask anything from me
I can't do anything.
I cannot be what you want me to be.
And I have been trying,
you know I have.
I have been trying so hard!
But now I cannot even move a finger to reach you.
Why can’t I see you?
You know what?
I am not going to look anymore.
Just forgive me
and let me go!
