Letting Go of Grudges

Holding grudges shouldn't be
Part of you or part of me
It just makes you really sick
By building up a really thick
Layer of hate deep inside
Because of our stubborn pride
No one saying sorry first
Even though we're gonna burst
Into a fist of hellish rage
Getting on the same darn page
Isn't easy when we are
Taking this grudge way to far
Lets sit down and straighten out
How this hating came about
Talking so sincere and freely
Opening up honestly

It's a toughie Robin, for some more than others How to break the chains; of prideful hate? to Prosper for many; so improving their fate.'
