Quietly Raging
©1998 Dakota Sid Clifford


I bet you didn't know, how long it would last
You must have thought time would heal, the way that we feel
And we'd forget about the past

        But time has a way of making us pay
        For the things that we hide in our soul
        And in the midst of our lives the time finally arrives
        When we quietly stop and go out of control

                Out of control, on a course with collision
                Headed for hell, or a similar region
                Too many miles on a road weary soul
                Quietly raging out of control

I bet you didn't know, that we were changing things forever
You must have felt in your heart, we'd never part for very long
Then again, maybe never

        But each day has a way of making us pay
        For the feelings we hide in our soul
        And in the midst of our lives the time finally arrives
        When we quietly stop and go out of control

                Out of control, on a course with collision
                Headed for hell, or a similar region
                Too many miles on a road weary soul
                Quietly raging out of control

        I bet you didn't know
        There's people out there everywhere, just quietly raging
        To many miles I guess on a road weary soul
        You can see it in their eyes
        It's our brothers and our sisters
        Out of control

I bet you didn't know, there never is a sure way
You must have thought time would move, and the water would smooth
And I'd begin to see it your way

        But each way has a way of making us pay
        For the things hidden deep in our soul
        And in the midst of our lives the time finally arrives
        When we quietly stop and go out of control
        Out of control, on a course with collision
        Headed for hell, or a similar region

                Too many miles on a road weary soul
                Quietly raging out of control
                Quietly raging out of control
                Just settle down there, take it easy
