I'm Hurting Inside

Bob Marley

oh-a-w-oh
when i was just a little child
(little child)
happiness was there awhile
(there awhile)
and from me, it...
it slipped one day (ay)
happiness
come back I say

cause if you don't come
i've got to go looking...
for happiness

well if you don't come
i've got to go looking...
god, for happiness... happiness

say that
say i'm hurting
(inside) and its no...
i'm hurting
i'm hurting
deep inside

oh good god now

oh hear my cry
hear my cry
yeah my my my my my my my cry

been together like school children
(school children)
then you hurt me just in vain
(just in vain)
oh...
lord, i'm your little child
(little child)
oh
happiness come back awhile

cause if you don't come
i'm gong a looking
for happiness
the road is dangerous

cause if you don't come
i've got to go looking
for happiness...happiness

said I'm...
don't you know i'm...
i'm hurting, hurting inside

oh i'm hurting

who cares
who cares

does the one who love
oh
feel the pain
feel the pain

does the one who love
feel the pain
feel the pain

(been together)
been together like school children

No ting could be further from the truth than the lyrics of this song. As a child, I was hurting inside and it wasn't until I was a young teen that I heard these words and felt comfort for the first time. I had found melody that spoke for me.

A record player and cassette deck was what pulled me from the misery to a world that was somewhere else than the little corner that I sat in. When the days of happiness reached me it went deep in my soul and rested there....if became a possibility and as I got older each day, I vowed that I would seek and find my happiness again.

It was the settings of a new adulthood but it was the mind and body of a very young child making up for lost time. From those days to today, I trod on and the journey gets less lonely.

I n I live!!!
