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 than 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 outta here

I don't wanna die, and leave it all behind

Each day a 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 right down and repent

You can't tell me we're forgiven, no

You can't tell me we're forgiven
