Healing Band Aid of Love

Some wounds may run so deep
They never fully heal
Until you discuss how you feel 
To the one who wounded you
It may not be easy
But heal your wounds with a band aid of love.

It may not be easy to forgive
Especially if it stops you live
And takes away a part of you
Leaving us sad and blue
But sometimes we let things fester
Carrying around an uncomfortable stone
In our shoe
Sooner or later we need to let go
And realise the only person
The only person who is hurting you now is you/

Don't be top hard on yourself
Heal yourself by learning to forgive
As Jesus taught us
Heal yourself with a band aid of love.

This world of ours is full of misunderstanding
And too much hate and war
We forget what is important
Like family friends and being alive
And just what we are fighting for.

We have to realise we're all far from perfect
And as humans we all make mistakes
Sometimes we need to grow up
And face the truth
Life is often what you make
We may have have a choice
We are so lucky when so many have none
We need yo grasp the moment before the moment is gone.

Better to live with peace of mind than regret
And open your heart rather than shut the door
As many a fool may never forget
Only to be weighed down with guilt the wages of debt.

But as God in his wisdom taught us from up above 
Heal yourself with a band aid of love.
