A Simple Word

I just need a simple word
I’ve already forgiven you in my heart
But I won’t tell you until I hear the word from you

It’s not necessary to be deep and complex
But sincere and honest
I am waiting for you, my son

You know that you are wrong
I know that admitting mistakes isn’t easy
Take the courage to say “sorry”, my son

I just need a simple word
I’ve already forgiven you in my heart
But I won’t tell you that until I hear the word from you
