We're Forgiven

  • Well, I would like to think
    The world hasn't seen
    That all the best is still to come,
    And I know life ain't easy.

    I pass them sleeping on the streets
    Their bloodstained hands and dirty feet
    And I can't ignore them
    Any more then I already have

    So we laugh, and we smile
    And we play our games of sweet denial
    But don't tell me we're forgiven
    If we hold, all our breath
    If we kneel right down and just repent
    You can't tell me we're forgiven

    Start with me
    I cannot lie
    When my heart doesn't follow my eyes
    Turn away from all the suffering
    That surrounds
    Our time on this earth
    For some their life has been a curse
    I say I'm sorry and I should change
    You know it just could be me someday

    So we laugh, and we smile
    And we play our games of sweet denial
    But don't tell me we're forgiven
    If we hold, all our breath
    If we kneel right down and just repent
    You can't tell me we're forgiven

    There's no way out of here
    I don't want to die, and leave it all behind
    Each day part of me disappears
    But who am I to judge, what's been sent from above

    So we laugh, and we smile
    And we play our games of sweet denial
    But don't tell me we're forgiven
    If we hold, all our breath
    If we kneel right down and just repent
    You can't tell me we're forgiven

    We can't laugh
    We can't smile
    When so much just ain't right
    It can't go on forever
    If we hold, our breath
    If we kneel down and repent
    You can't tell me we're forgiven, no,
    You can't tell me we're forgiven Writer/s: AARON KAMIN, ALEX BAND
