I don't want to be angry anymore

I don't want to be angry anymore
I'm old and I'm tired
and my back and head are sore
but the news breaks through
like wind through an open door
I don't want to be angry anymore

there must be some way to rest my mind
I've cried and I've tried
I've looked everywhere to find
something that can't disappear
with the passing of time
I need somehow to rest my mind

          time keeps speeding forward
          further and further from the past
          a tiny voice keeps whispering
          one breath you take your last
          it's moving fast
          and that is why

I don't want to be angry anymore
I'm exhausted from fighting
all my petty little wars
I just need to breathe
and live like I've never lived before
I don't want to be angry anymore
I don't want to be angry anymore
