Gripping Fear

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.
