My Father Laid His Hand on My Shoulder — текст песни (Waterdeep)

All the malice I`ve felt
toward the people who`ve hurt me
was a dark lonely hole
where I ended up dirty

trying to make sense
of what`s fair and what`s ugly
So I drew my conclusions
and I stated them smugly

When the adrenaline rush
of the wave of rage passes
and I`m cold in that hole
and there`s mud on my glasses

I don`t care anymore
to issue all my subpoenas
or seek revenge on my foes
fulfill my grave-like agreements

CHORUS
Though the world is a winter
growing colder and colder
I remember the warmth
when my Father laid His hand on my shoulder
when my Father laid His hand on my shoulder

In my nightmares I`ve seen
all the wrath and destruction
of my dark enemy
and his lethal deduction

that if I`ve ever felt helpless
if I`ve ever felt fearful
then he had right to accuse
pierce my side with his spear full

CHORUS
But when I was shamefully weak
and knew I should have been bolder
I was strengthened again
when my Father laid His hand on my shoulder
when my Father laid His hand on my shoulder

BRIDGE
It`s not my duty to judge
There`s another who does so
I am asked to forgive
to release and to trust though

It`s not my duty to die for the
sins I`ve committed
I`m allowed to run free
I`ve been fully acquitted

CHORUS
All the days of my life
and when I`m years and years older
I`ll remember the day
when my Father laid His hand on my shoulder
All the days of my life
and when I`m years and years older
I`ll remember the day
when my Father laid His hand on my shoulder
when my Father laid His hand on my shoulder
