My Father Laid His Hand On My Shoulder lyrics

All the malice I've felt 
toward the people who've hurt me 
was a dark lonely hole 
where I ended up dirty 

trying to make sense 
of what's fair and what's ugly 
So I drew my conclusions 
and I stated them smugly 

When the adrenaline rush 
of the wave of rage passes 
and I'm cold in that hole 
and there's mud on my glasses 

I don't care anymore 
to issue all my subpoenas 
or seek revenge on my foes 
fulfill my grave-like agreements 

CHORUS 
Though the world is a winter 
growing colder and colder 
I remember the warmth 
when my Father laid His hand on my shoulder 
when my Father laid His hand on my shoulder 

In my nightmares I've seen 
all the wrath and destruction 
of my dark enemy 
and his lethal deduction 

that if I've ever felt helpless 
if I've ever felt fearful 
then he had right to accuse 
pierce my side with his spear full 

CHORUS 
But when I was shamefully weak 
and knew I should have been bolder 
I was strengthened again 
when my Father laid His hand on my shoulder 
when my Father laid His hand on my shoulder 

BRIDGE 
It's not my duty to judge 
There's another who does so 
I am asked to forgive 
to release and to trust though 

It's not my duty to die for the 
sins I've committed 
I'm allowed to run free 
I've been fully acquitted 

CHORUS 
All the days of my life 
and when I'm years and years older 
I'll remember the day 
when my Father laid His hand on my shoulder 
All the days of my life 
and when I'm years and years older 
I'll remember the day 
when my Father laid His hand on my shoulder 
when my Father laid His hand on my shoulder
