Sometimes I'm filled with love
For all life in this world
I see peace flags everywhere
It's just that they're still furled
I have hope things will improve
If we just give them time
And any anger, even just
Can seem almost a crime

Sometimes I'm filled with sadness
For the way things have become
In a world where all must suffer
For the crimes of some
I long for a better time
The future or the past
But I'm afraid that current things
Will last and last and last

Sometimes I'm filled with anger
For the things I want to do
I speak out and do my best
Though they try to subdue
My enemies are all around
And even many friends
Mock me for my anger
And the things that I defend

Sometimes I'm filled with laughter
At the humor in my pain
Because I know despite it all
I have come out sane
Laughter at my love for life
Laughter at my grief
Laughter at the rage I feel
Laughter is relief
