Lyrics
Forgiven
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I will wait like nothing; I have ever waited for
I will catch your tears from falling; until from my hands they fall
You can leave me abandoned, I'll be here if you want back in
Like the rest I have been branded far beneath the skin
So far beneath the skin
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be Forgiven
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be Forgiven
Here I have been standing but the time has come and gone
I tried singing to you, but you turned my words to stone
Here I have been waiting, it seems for quite a while
Changed all my reflections
But inside still just a child
But inside still just a child
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be Forgiven
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be Forgiven
These eyes weren't made for crying; This love wasn't made to waste
These arms weren't made for battle, but to share in your embrace
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be Forgiven
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be Forgiven
