Angry Anymore

growing up it was just me and my mom against the world
 and all my sympathies were with her when i was a little girl
 and i've seen both my parents play out the hands that they were dealt
 as each year goes by i know more about how my father must have felt
 i just want you to understand that i know what all the fighting was for
 and i just want you to understand that i'm not angry anymore
 no i'm not angry anymore
 she taught me how to wage cold war with quiet charm
 but i just want to walk through my life unarmed
 to accept and just get by like my father learned to do
 but without all the acceptance and getting by that got my father through
 i just want you to understand that i know what all the fighting was for
 and i just want you to understand that i'm not angry anymore
 no i'm not angry anymore
 night falls like people into love
 and we generate our own light to compensate
 for the lack of light from above
 and every time we fight a cold wind blows our way
 but we can learn like the trees how to bend
 how to sway and say
 i, i think i understand what all this fighting is for
 and baby i just want you to understand that i'm not angry anymore
 no i'm not angry anymore
