Corrymeela |
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 |
(Cho:) |
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 |
(Cho:) |
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 |
(Cho:) |
