The Night I Laid My Anger Down

I carried fire in my chest too long, Burned every bridge with the same old song. But the night was kind, the stars came ‘round, The night I laid my anger down.

The night I laid my anger down, The desert breathed, the wind made sound. I found a peace I’d never found, The night I laid my anger down.

I held my rage like a loaded gun, But it weighed too much when the day was done. So I let it fall on the barren ground, The night I laid my anger down.

The night I laid my anger down, The road grew soft, the world spun ‘round. I felt the mercy circle ‘round, The night I laid my anger down.

(Wordless vocal hum in the background, like a hymn carried by wind)

The night I laid my anger down, The sky lit red, then turned to brown. I let the dust carry it out of town, The night I laid my anger down.
