Lyrics
Let Go of the Anger
Breathe in, breathe out, let go of the anger breathe in, breathe out, let the anger go Breathe in, breathe out, focus on the feeling understand where it comes from realize where it leads Let it pass through you into the Force There is no emotion, there is peace
As we stand in smoking ruins, as we feel all those people die it is hard to keep from shouting Why, oh why, oh why Why is this happening, why is there a war Who started this, what are we fighting for? It's hard to not drown in the dark (to not succumb to the dark) to not fall, to not give in To be a Jedi, a beacon for all Breathe in, breathe out, settle the battle within
Breathe in, breathe out, let go of the anger breathe in, breathe out, let the anger go Breathe in, breathe out, focus on the feeling understand where it comes from realize where it leads Let it pass through you into the Force There is no emotion, there is peace
I look into your face which so many others share Some see you just as meat-droids But I care, I care, I care! So many battles I have fought with you at my side and when I drown in blood and pain you are my guiding light You keep me sane, you hold me up I can't yield, I can't give in I'm your Jedi, I'm your shield Breathe in, breathe out, this fight I have to win
Breathe in, breathe out, let go of the anger breathe in, breathe out, let the anger go Breathe in, breathe out, focus on the feeling understand where it comes from realize where it leads Let it pass through you into the Force There is no emotion, there is peace
There is no emotion, there is peace Oh, I wish there would be peace!

"It's hard to not drown in the dark" this is stuff of nightmares. Strong words, Star Words. The is a lot of universal connection here, for a filk song the lyric is universal. Nice job with the skirmish and a surprise to hear about Jedi from this prompt!
I guess peace is hard to come by these days Thanks for these wonderful lyrics
I am certain if I had joined those rebels, I would be wondering every day if there would ever be peace. Breathing deeply would help but not enough.
