And I just want you to understand
But I just want to walk through my life unarmed
No, I'm not angry anymore
What all this fighting is for
Every time we fight a cold wind blows our way
We generate our own light to compensate for the lack of light from above
That I'm not angry anymore
And I just want you to understand
And as each year goes by, I know more about how my father must have felt
To accept and just get by like my father learned to do
Night falls like people into love
That I'm not angry anymore
I just want you to understand
No, I'm not angry anymore
And baby, I just want you to understand
But we learn like the trees, how to bend? How to sway and say?
I, I think I understand
She taught me how to wage a cold war with quiet charm
That I know what all the fighting was for
But now I've seen both my parents play out the hands they were dealt
That I know what all the fighting was for
I just want you to understand
But without all the acceptance and getting by that got my father through
That I'm not angry anymore
