FORGIVENESS

​

I see the light of people trying
I feel the glow of a million suns here
I watch the trees grow tall in silence
I'll wash my body in a thousand rivers today

Forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness

I watch the day turn into darkness
I watch the night sky turn to light again
I breathe in the ends of a trillion light years
I let it out and heaven's in me again

Sweetness, sweetness, sweetness, sweetness
Sweetness, sweetness, sweetness

I feel a lifetime as it passes
I am the candle flame it blesses
These are my limbs and I outstretch them
These are my sins and I confess them

Forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness
Forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness

I watch my father work to blindness
I feel an aching for his lightness
I learn my lessons about kindness
I give my thanks and heaven's in me again

Forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness
Forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness
Forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness
Forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness
