Put the shield aside
Let your mind rest for a while
Now, don't expect the worst
It's okay to hurt
But you leave before it happens
Stop tangling up the strings you strung
Whatever you are facing
It's okay to hurt
You painted like a Quaker god
Clash by will
But you won't lose a thing
If you settle by the road's divergent
Though the one astray
May find a better way
Leave before that happens
Stop tangling up the strings you strung
Whatever you are facing
It's okay to hurt
You painted like a Quaker god
Clash by will
But you leave before it happens
Stop tangling up the strings you strung
Whatever you are facing
