forgiveness

i can talk like music
with lyric in the song
this is how it is for me
won't set you up as wrong
i ask myself to offer light
to the shadows in my mind
so i can see the essence
of the heart i want to find
i forgive you
i forgive you

i have taken things before
that don't belong to me
i've done things that hurt my friends
that hurt my family
there's always choice to blame myself
or to blame somebody else
i would rather love you
than carry poison in myself
i forgive you
i forgive you

fear directing actions
opinions lead to judgment lead to blame
there's a thousand forms of hatred
there's a thousand ways to make ourselves insane
i forgive you ~ i forgive you

no need to really like someone
no need to agree
when respect and love pursue
there's possibility
i forgive you
i forgive you
