lyrics

THE CHOICE

anger comes out in the sneakiest ways,
in the subtlest look or how i say what i say;
though i’ve driven it inward the feeling is there:
it’s creating a wall, this thing i cannot share

i don’t want to hurt you so i’m playing this game
and i’m hurting you more because you know just the same,
and now if i tell you how will you react?
will you see it as part of the whole?
or just some thing that you lacked?

how can i trust you will love me still?
how can i trust you will know that i love you?
anger is just a feeling inside,
what to do with the feeling is for us to decide

when i was a child i learned my anger was wrong,
the emotion was dangerous, the feelings too strong,
i watched your responses and gave in to my fear,
and it built up inside me; year after year after year

why is it still so hard to say?
why do we keep on pretending this way?

in the passage of time there are sorrows and tears
in the search for the real… there are angers and fears
and i’ve been to the high places… i’ve lived through the low,
where the years move too quickly and the moments too slow

and i’m learning to trust there’s reason to fail,
i’m learning to trust that Love will prevail
and as i forgive and give all my feelings voice
i’m finding the freedom to see the choice

c Linda Worster 1985
