Forgiveness


Pain and hate weigh me down

I wonder

Wonder

Who can save me?

Who will save me?

I wonder

Wonder

As I'm on my knees

 

Memories Flash in my head

I wonder

Wonder

When will I forgive?

How do I forgive?

I wonder

Wonder

As I limp

 

My fingers claw at the surface

I wonder

Wonder

Can I let go?

Will I let go?

I wonder 

Wonder

As I cower low

 

I unclench my fists

I wonder

Wonder

Can I be brave?

Can I be saved?

I wonder 

Wonder

As I wait

 

All I need is a little love

I wonder

Wonder

I can let go

I will let go

I wonder

Wonder

 No more

As I stand
