Forgive

There is a reason your so torn apart
The reason is deep within your heart

You can lock it away and lose the key
It will grow beyond and then burst free

You must search within yourself
Take those hurts from off the shelf

Prioritize and deal with them
Don't be another victim of a life of sin

Let go of the hurt let go of the hate.
Leave disappointment behind and lock the gate

Forgive all and you will be free
Let love grow like a great red wood tree
