I gave up anger yesterday
But anger called up, said he wouldn't give up on me
So I said let's meet halfway
Upon the old bridge that hangs from hate to harmony
And that's where I'm hanging on
My hope and my humanity ticking half-past half gone
My enemy said I was wrong
Instead of asking just what it was that I had done
I let my anger ride along
And I told him, it was he who was the one
That was blinded by his need
Blinded by his greed
He was deafened by desire
Anger sang the choir, it sang on
Does this anger ever leave
Or is it with us, from our birth until our death
Every time we doubt or grieve
Does it defend us, or does it suck out our last breath
'Til we're barely hanging on
Our hope and our humanity ticking half-past half gone
Well then let it pass through me
Let the waves wash through me 'til I'm finally standing free
Well then let it pass through me
Waves wash over me
Let it pass through me
Waves wash over me
Over me
