Bob Lind: I Can't Walk Roads Of Anger (Unedited Version)

You, you who loves me
I would think you'd understand
Not to build a fence around me
But accept me as I am
I want to reach with loving arms
And caress the glowing sunrise
And warm the winter snow
And dance the rhythms of the ebb tide
Belonging to no one
Yet free to love the world
That grows around my smiling mind

I can't walk roads of anger
I ain't got the time.

You, you who loves me
I would think you'd try to see
Your love and how you give it
Are the closest things to me
But why confine my thirsty soul
To just the nectar of your feelings
When the universe around me
Sets my happy senses reeling
The sky and the mountains
Embrace me while the speckled sunlight fills me with its wine

I can't walk roads of anger
I ain't got the time.

There are those who stand against you
With unkindness locked inside
Please don't think that I don't feel it
When their actions hurt your pride
But how important is their pettiness
Compared to what's around us
The strong and tender hand of love
Reached blindly out and found us
The blanket of evening consoled us with its luster
With tomorrow close behind

I can't walk roads of anger
I ain't got the time.

Look beyond the moment
It is the twilight of your tears
The memory of your sorrows
Will dissolve into the years
Lift your head and listen to the music of the thunder
The laughter of the rain comes
From the winding sky we're under
A rainbow of daydreams comes true and spins in spirals
Weaving silver down my spine

I can't walk road of anger
I ain't got the time.

So, please forgive me
If I don't fall to games of hate
Your foes will fall without me
Into graves dug out by fate.
Yes, and I will ride my love song
Through the changing of the season
And kiss the earth and ocean
Giving laughter as my reason
My heartbeat is pounding with blood
That carries love for this enchanting world of mine

I can't walk roads of anger
I ain't got the time.
