My Father Laid His Hand On My Shoulder Lyrics - Waterdeep

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
