That I'm not angry anymore
When I was a little girl
I'm not angry anymore
Every time we fight
For the lack of light from above
But I just want to walk
A cold wind blows our way
That got my father through
She taught me how to wage a cold war
I, I think I understand
But now I've seen both my parents
Through my life unarmed
And I just want you to understand
But we learn like the trees
That I'm not angry anymore
To accept and just get by
How to bend
I just want you to understand
We generate our own light
And baby, I just want you to understand
But without all the acceptance and getting by
I know more about how my father must have felt
Night falls like people into love
How to sway and say
With quiet charm
And as each year goes by
That I know what all the fighting was for
Play out the hands they were dealt
Like my father learned to do
What all this fighting is for
To compensate
