I've got pressure on my head,
pressure on my heart
there's a pressure on myself, that's clear
I've got pressure on my feet,
pressure on my chest
Pressure on my veins and nerves
Drained out mothers sing a lullaby
to make their babies sleep,
and for a while forget humanity's
rush to the abyss
Father, I've got nowhere else to go
than into your strong arms
We cry together, oh, in misery
for people's lack of faith
There's a pressure down on everyone
to be saved and to be free
But has one ever reached the final gate
when love was out of sight?
Rest yourself now, no regrets!
No more cries for help
In your heart there is a place
that ease your pains and fears
Ease the pressure
release your feet
and fly out to the night
You will see the fireflies
guide you into the light
