Lyrics Gentling Me - Amy Helm

You passed right through me
Walked off with your back to the wind
Moved out with the morning
Left me alone in my skin

There's a hole where I held you
And a hunger I've run from for years
The fire of my anger that scared you
Has turned into tears

Gentling me, gentling me
I lost it all, and that set me free
Cast out and scorned, but somehow reborn
Sorrow and grief
They are gentling me

Peering out windows
At a world spinning violent and mean
Fragile like children
Hiding but easily seen

Both of us wounded
Carelessly damaged for life
Only kindness can save us
Only love can make it feel right

Gentling me, gentling me
Facing the truth, down on my knees
My eyes to the sky, learning to cry
Sorrow and grief
They are gentling me

My heart has traveled so many seasons of pain
My dreams unraveled, but the reasons I love you remain

Gentling me, gentling me
Lay down my arms, surrender in peace
My fury transformed, my hard edges worn
Sorrow and grief, they are gentling me
Sorrow and grief, they are gentling me
