You ask me what Makes anger You ask me why we Rage You ask me how to Kill a fire or turn Another page You ask me what Makes lightning Strike or Why the rain brings Flood What burns a nation Down to sand Why war spills so Much blood
And just for a Moment I thought you saw Me wave But you were Looking the other Way
You ask me how I Taught myself to Turn the force Around Look fear & anger in The eyes & turn it Into sound You ask if I can ride The wave of Dangerous emotion And if bitter Disappointments Are the measure of My passion
And just for a Moment I thought I caught Your eye But you were Turning the other Way
When you were a Young one you took The road you Wanted you didn't Live to compromise You took the world In with yr eyes & cut Yr portion down to
Size & as you grew We always knew That yoo were not For turning
But when you take This path in life Remember that you Light the fire you Burn in.
