The Wrong Side

I awoke this morning

On the wrong side of the bed

Feeling self entitled

To this cloud above my head

Feeling so alone

Like nobody understands

Like I'am the only one

Who lost the upper hand

You give rest to the weary hearted

I welter in my shame

Peace an rest is but an inch away

But I wear my badge of pain

It all comes down to this

Will I enter in

Or will I paint myself the victim

And throw this weight upon my skin

Peace like a river is flowing by

Will I wade in

Love like an ocean

I'm on the ledge

Will I Jump in

And let your peace

Soak my bones

Dernch my body

Anoint these sores

Cleanse my mind

Untie these knots

Renew my spirit

Baptize my thoughts

I awoke this morning

On the wrong side of my bed

Feeling justified in anger

With a look that could behead

I let my sense of justice take me

To a place I have no bounds

It's on this false assumption

That my mind is bound

You give rest to the weary hearted

I welter in my shame

Peace and rest is but an inch away

But I wear my badge of pain

It all comes down to this

Will I enter in

Or will I paint myself the victim

And throw this weight upon my skin
