Sweet Forgiveness Songtext
von Shannon McNally

The news blows cold in my veins
Everyday I wake to more of the same
The garden don't grow
'Cause greed never gets old

And my weapon of choice
Has got a lonely voice
It's lost in the brambles and buried in the noise
But I hear it still, faint, but steady calling

So forgive my love, forgive my broken heart
Forgive my love, was anything ever so hard
I'm angry to the bone
Feeling all alone, sweet forgiveness, yeah

Forgiving my love doesn't make them right
For taking what was ours and wounding the light
But it all comes back around in many unseen ways
They get theirs, they get theirs, they get theirs


May we never seek revenge
Bill never be paid
If this ache in our hearts is ever to go away
We only feed their greed by carrying that rage

So forgive my love, forgive my broken heart
Forgive my love, was anything ever so hard
I'm angry to the bone
Feeling all alone, sweet forgiveness, yeah

Sweet forgiveness, sweet forgiveness
May this melody reveal
And help me to heal with forgiveness, yeah, alright

'Cause I don't want a life that's soft and high
If it means that others must suffer and die for my comfort
'Cause I just don't know how to shut my eyes
Shut my eyes, shut my eyes

So forgive my love, forgive my broken heart
Forgive my love, was anything ever so hard
I'm angry to the bone
Feeling all alone, sweet forgiveness, yeah

Sweet forgiveness, sweet forgiveness
May this melody reveal
And help me to heal with forgiveness
Yeah, alright, alright, baby
