Forgiving

There was once a light inside of me

But lately I see that it's dimmed out slowly

And I fight, I kick, I yell, I scream

That what is happening, well it can't be really

And as I go along I'm finding the ground below

You can get ripped out from under your feet

The light around you turned out blinding

The darkness a more honest place to be

And I want to find in me that I can still believe

And be forgiving

Yes, I want to be like you

Can you teach me how to be forgiving

There was once a friend inside of me

But lately I see there's an enemy

I fight, I kick, I yell, I scream

What is happening but no one hears me

And as I go along I'm finding

The friends I thought I had

They weren't good friends at all

No I don't really need reminding

I'm much too jaded and I'm much too cynical

And I want to find in me that I can still believe

And be forgiving

Yes, I want to be like you

Can you teach me how to be forgiving

Yes, I want to find in me that I can still believe

And be forgiving

Yes, I want to be like you

Can you teach me how to be forgiving

Yes, I want to find in me that I can still believe

And be forgiving

And, I want to be like you

Can you teach me how to be forgiving
