Forgiveness

(album: Love Overflowing - 2016)

Tell me why you hide your eyes
Its no wonder why you can't embrace me, just can't face me now
If you knew, walked in my shoes, but brother you haven't even tried
To see the truth, open your eyes
To see things from the other side

How long have we shared this blood?
You've been a friend to me since the elementary
How could this come to be that we're common enemies?
It's about time we rose above and buried this grudge you been carrying round
How I've tried to make things right
But still you turn your face and hide from my sight
Is this the end, should we pretend that our friendship means nothing?

Forgive and forget or you'll always regret the friendships that you lose
Everyone makes a mistake, time to time, needs a break
So be the bigger man and choose forgiveness

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone
If you can't learn to forgive, you'll end up alone
Searching for the words to say "I'm sorry"
Filled with such regret over these petty differences we had
But these four syllables can mend: "I forgive you"

Forgive and forget or you'll always regret the friendships that you lose
Everyone makes a mistake, time to time, needs a break
So be the bigger man and choose forgiveness

Forgive and forget or you'll always regret the friendships that you lose
Everyone makes a mistake, time to time, needs a break
So be the bigger man and choose forgiveness

We were born into this world
Smiling, stumbling, stubborn fools
Untainted by egotistical hatred
All we have is each other's Love so let us cherish it and rise above
Envy, greed and jealousy
I'll forgive you, you forgive me

What can put the kindness of a true friend to the test, forgiveness
What can put a lonely, lamenting spirit to rest, forgiveness
What can reunite a grandfather with his children, forgiveness
What can put a broken home back together again, forgiveness
So take another walk down the road, take another step down the road
Take a another walk down the road, take a step on the road to forgiveness
