I'M Sorry

I hope you can forgive me, for walking right on by I decided not to look and I never questioned why I chose the simple path, that was easier for me I’m sorry I didn’t stop, I’m sorry I didn’t see I passed you on the street and ignored your broken heart I’m sorry I passed you by when you were falling all apart It’s taken many years, but now I see and understand The hurt I caused your soul and how your basic rights were banned It was I who caused your pain, so you stayed behind closed doors I wish I could change the past and help to heal your sores I’m sorry I wasn’t there in your darkest hour of life I’m sorry I let you down and brought about such strife I beg you for forgiveness, I was blind but now I see I want to be a part of your world if only you’ll let me be I have a debt to pay, for the tears that I have brought Please give me one more shot, if you find it in your heart
