You passed right through me
Walked off with your back to the wind
Moved out with the morning
Left me alone in my skin
There's a hole where I held you
And a hunger I've run from for years
The fire of my anger that scared you
Has turned into tears
Gentling me
Gentling me
I lost it all
And that set me free
Cast out and scorned
But somehow reborn
Sorrow and grief
They are gentling me
Peering out windows
At a world spinning violent and mean
Fragile like children
Hiding but easily seen
Both of us wounded
Carelessly damaged for life
Only kindness can save us
Only love can make it feel right
Gentling me
Gentling me
Facing the truth
Down on my knees
My eyes to the sky
Learning to cry
Sorrow and grief
They are gentling me
My heart has traveled so many seasons of pain
My dreams unraveled, but the reasons I love you remain
Gentling me
Gentling me
Lay down my arms
Surrender in peace
My fury transformed
My hard edges worn
Sorrow and grief
They are gentling me
Sorrow and grief
They are gentling me
