Energy

ntro: Bm/A/Bm/A

Bm A

There are times when I’m completely shut down

Bm A

Want nobody around, least of all myself

C G

Mad at the world’s failings, and at my heart for hurting

I do what it takes to tune out

But addictions only increase my afflictions

And add to the troubles of the world

Thinking on life’s brevity, I feel the urgency

To shoulder up my burdens and welcome those

Bm A

Strange blessings every day

Bm A

When I turn toward what’s happening instead of turning away

G A

And those blessings make me wonder why we ever lose our way

G A Bm/A/Bm/ A

Oh those blessings make me wonder why we don’t move forth in wonder all day

There are times when I really feel what’s here

And compassion blossoms like a flower

I stride toward what must be done for the benefit of everyone

And I know my life has meaning

So I set my intention to quit running from the pain

To set about the task, the work, the healing

And to appreciate and see the power for good that’s inside me

And use that energy to grow those beautiful

Strange blessings every day

When I turn towards what’s happening instead of turning away

And those blessings make me wonder why we ever lose our way

Oh those blessings make me wonder why we don’t move forth in wonder all day

D C

She burns with the energy to serve

D C

Having seen how it brings her closer

G A

To good, to peace, to healing and release -CHORUS
