"I Too Have Raged" lyrics

Strong-arm man wearing pride on your sleeve
Holding steel in your hand
Feels like I'm looking in a mirror
We could be brothers

I see the spite in your eyes
And the lines on your face
And I know why they're there
I, too, have raged against the unforgiving wall
I, too, have raged in anger

Blinding anger
Festering, binding anger

I, too, have raged
I, too, have raged in anger

And I learned that lingering anger acts to poison the mind and limits our perception
Leaves us looking for someone to blame and ripe for exploitation
Opens doors to indoctrination

I, too, have raged
I, too, have raged
I, too, have raged...
Against the unforgiving wall
I, too, have raged in anger...

And with a clap of light and thunder
I found myself above the storm
When I saw myself in another
Who I had called "the other one"

And in a moment of release
I let that disgust go
And I felt the awesome peace
Of the soft and vulnerable

And then I felt the dreamer's vision
And then I touched the mountain top
And then I fell back down to earth
With open eyes and a broken heart

And I watched it fall
That old unforgiving wall
I watched it fall
