I was angry with myself. I was lost and confused
There wasn't an unkind word or spiteful thought I hadn't used
All the anger I carried was bound to explode
I was walking in a rage down a long hard road

(Cho:)
O Corrymeela, I need to rest myself
I need to discover myself again
O Corrymeela, I need a peaceful vision
O let my only decision be to lay down my sorrows

There were times when I was right
There were times when I was wrong
I couldn't feel one way about anything for very long
The blame for all my troubles pointed everywhere but me
I was as full of hate as any one you'll ever see

(Cho:)

Just to feel the anger leaving me
Just to let the burning bitterness die
O show me the sea, let its music heal me
Show me a field where I can lie

I was tearing myself apart
I was my own worst enemy
There didn't seem to be an answer to my misery
I knew that I was wrong and I was sure that I was right
I was cursing the darkness and blowing out the light
(Cho:)
