Forgiveness must begin within our heart. And rise above the things that we may say. Sometimes cruel words can drive us far apart. And so, these words for you I will impart. Just send them to you fast without delay. Forgiveness must begin within our heart. You see, I want to make a fresh clean start. With hope, our future makes a better day. Sometimes cruel words can drive us far apart. If you can see this truth, that is a start, My love for you I never would betray. Forgiveness must begin within our heart. My world would shatter if you should depart. For your forgiveness, I shall hope and pray. Sometimes cruel words can drive us far apart. Please mend our love with just a cupid's dart. Begin again and chase our blues away. Forgiveness must begin within our heart. Sometimes cruel words can drive us far apart.
