lyrics

We Can Forgive

There are people that, for whatever reason,
have a sense of justice to push through,
to retaliate or for revenge
seek to cause grief and suffering to you.
From reactions and cause and effect;
the suffering and hurt is hit or miss,
but for all that it does or doesn’t do,
little to no good can come from this.

When we’ve been wronged, beset to break,
It’s hard not to react to get back, for vengeance sake.
And how to choose from what it is,
but as all else fails; we can forgive.

There are people easily offended,
with a short fuse to fight and react.
They may see the error in their ways
but all they want to do is to strike back.
Who understands the underlying reasons
why a person lets the dogs of war loose?
What matters more is how we response
to their exploitation and abuse.

When we’ve been wronged, dignity taken away,
There are those who believe any payback is okay.
And it’s never easy, sorting out what it is,
but it’s good to know, my friend; we can forgive.

We have a choice; we have a right
to follow a dark path or step out in the light.
Somehow someway, love has to start
a healing process for that change of heart.

And when we’ve been wronged; bad feelings grow,
We can hold that anger in or we can let it go.
It’s not hard to choose from what it truly is,
for the sake of our well-being; we can forgive.
defiled and disgraced

and falsely blamed, dignity to strike back

embarrassed disgraced mortified shamed dishonored debased. humiliated
while this guitar squawks and hums
