Forgiveness

You can ask for sitting in a pew under that pottery painted glass
Search for it in shadows hidden deep in your checkered past
Ill feel sometimes like youre looking for a ghost
But then you see it the eyes of the ones that love you most

Forgiveness, everybody needs it; Forgiveness, give it and receive it
Sometimes the toughest thing you can give yourself; Forgiveness

I dont think its ever too late to learn to sing a different song
Pick up those tools you left out and putem back where they belong
I cant handle yet what hurts me the most
But standing here saying this to you tonight means that Im getting close to

Forgiveness, everybody needs it; Forgiveness, give it and receive it
Im learning thats what love is all about; Forgiveness

In my Fathers house I learned that lost time is just a sin
Each wrong I leave that I dont right might haunt me till the end
We worked so hard at the perfect life, we forgot to live
And Im sorry that what you needed most, I didnt know how to give

Forgiveness, everybody needs it; Forgiveness, give it and receive it
Its as easy as Im sorry from the lips of someone else
And the toughest thing you can ever give yourself; Forgiveness
