I am ripped by love and hate
To where can I turn
This turmoil is Satan’s bait
The anger inside me does burn
Is all my effort in vain
Can one understand what I share
What did I really gain
Is there really one who can care
Will there be a better day
I must not take the blame
For this is not the true way
It is the way they use shame
I must from this trap be free
It is here that I will surely die
These chains of anger have bound me
I must break them and be free
I must take my chance at love
For not even God did me forsake
I must out of this hurt rise above
And be strong and my courage awake
I must rise up and take a chance
I must trust in God and believe
For there is no other way to advance
There is no other way hope to receive
