My Father Laid His Hand On My Shoulder
Waterdeep

All the malice I've felt

Toward the people who've hurt me

Was a dark lonely hole

Where I ended up dirty


Trying to make sense

Of what's fair and what's ugly

So I drew my conclusions

And I stated them smugly


When the adrenaline rush

Of the wave of rage passes

And I'm cold in that hole

And there's mud on my glasses


I don't care anymore

To issue all my subpoenas

Or seek revenge on my foes

Fulfill my grave-like agreements


CHORUS

Though the world is a winter

Growing colder and colder

I remember the warmth

When my Father laid His hand on my shoulder

When my Father laid His hand on my shoulder


In my nightmares I've seen

All the wrath and destruction

Of my dark enemy

And his lethal deduction


That if I've ever felt helpless

If I've ever felt fearful

Then he had right to accuse

Pierce my side with his spear full


CHORUS

But when I was shamefully weak

And knew I should have been bolder

I was strengthened again

When my Father laid His hand on my shoulder

When my Father laid His hand on my shoulder


BRIDGE

It's not my duty to judge

There's another who does so

I am asked to forgive

To release and to trust though


It's not my duty to die for the

Sins I've committed

I'm allowed to run free

I've been fully acquitted


CHORUS

All the days of my life

And when I'm years and years older

I'll remember the day

When my Father laid His hand on my shoulder

All the days of my life

And when I'm years and years older

I'll remember the day

When my Father laid His hand on my shoulder

When my Father laid His hand on my shoulder
