I Dared
I Dared
I dared to ride the pulsing tide
of my feelings
alive not numbed
here in this body I’ve felt the cold steel
of love lost
as it slashed at my heart
Turning my television to the wall
I journeyed down
into the darkness I had refused to face
for all those years
I cried with the rain
for the pain of the earth
I howled with the ghosts of the timber wolves
long gone from this place
I felt the ache of those I had hurt
before I began to awake
I dared to feel the cold hard steel of my feelings
no drugs, no drink, no TV
Just a cabin by the river
nature, wind and me
I dared to feel the cold hard steel of my feelings...
Daring thus to live...
gave me my life back
I dared to ride the pulsing tide
of my feelings
alive not numbed
here in this body I’ve felt the cold steel
of love lost
as it slashed at my heart
Turning my television to the wall
I journeyed down
into the darkness I had refused to face
for all those years
I cried with the rain
for the pain of the earth
I howled with the ghosts of the timber wolves
long gone from this place
I felt the ache of those I had hurt
before I began to awake
I dared to feel the cold hard steel of my feelings
no drugs, no drink, no TV
Just a cabin by the river
nature, wind and me
I dared to feel the cold hard steel of my feelings...
Daring thus to live...
gave me my life back
