From Margie Adam. Songwriter.
Words and Music by Margie Adam

I get so tired of waiting
For the change to come
You tell me: just be patient
What’s been done is done
And done and done and done again
An overpowering sense of pain
Flows in and out of me
And I begin to understand
The things I did not see.

I’ve got a fury
Deep inside my very soul
And it’s gonna eat me up
Or let me go
It’s gotta be one or the other
This I know.

My hands are shaking now
I look through gritted smiles
You tell me: don’t be angry
Laughter goes for miles and miles
And miles and miles and miles
And somewhere not so far away
A feeling starts to grow
And everything I try to say
Is drowned by what I know.

I’ve got a fury
Deep inside my very soul
And it’s gonna eat me up
Or let me go
It’s gotta be one or the other
This I know.

I will not live a life
Forever on my knees
You tell me: why not change
To make you more at ease
To please at ease… at ease to please
The waves of hate crash over me
And wash me clean of fear
The ocean of my anger swells
To cover all who hear.

I’ve got a fury
Deep inside my very soul
And it’s gonna eat me up
Or let me go
It’s gotta be one or the other
This I know.


I’ve got a fury
And I’m gonna let
it show.
