corrymeela

tom paxton

i was angry with myself. i was lost and confused. there wasn't an unkind word or spiteful thought i hadn't used. all the anger i carried was bound to explode. i was walking in a rage down a long hard road. o corrymeela

i need to rest myself. i need to discover myself again. o corrymeela

i need a peaceful vision. o let my only decision be to lay down my sorrows. there were times when i was right. there were times when i was wrong. i couldn't feel one way about anything for very long. the blame for all my troubles pointed everywhere but me. i was as full of hate as any one you'll ever see. just to feel the anger leaving me. just to let the burning bitterness die. o show me the sea

let its music heal me. show me a field where i can lie. i was tearing myself apart. i was my own worst enemy. there didn't seem to be an answer to my misery. i knew that i was wrong and i was sure that i was right. i was cursing the darkness and blowing out the light.
