Thoughts and emotions can be tricky at the best of
times
They build you up just to bring you down
And create chaos in your mind
Erupting like a mountain
Need some strength that I can count on

They re comin up to bring me down
But I won t be afraid

Sometimes it s fear or anger or despair
And it s easier to blame someone else or something
out there
But I know that I gotta get real
I m the only one who can change how I feel

They re comin up to bring me down
But I won t be afraid
They re comin up to bring me down
But I will find my way, through these feelings

Maybe it s an old trauma
Or an unconscious memory
That keeps me revolving on this roundabout of misery
I can hold on white knuckled as it spins me around
Or jump off this not so merry-go-round

And I ve heard that when selfishness comes in the
door
Humility slips out the front
And I ve seen those comings and goings in my life
But there s an angel of compassion on my shoulder
and there s wisdom in my bones
and there s help if I m willing to ask for it
if I can be humble

and here they come again
I m digging deep for strength
