There is an eye in the sky that sees in the darkness
He searches the soul and He pierces the conscience
And I'm not proud of everything that He's seen
But when it comes to that past, He's a mercy machine
He knows it all and there's news that'll please ya
But when it comes to that past, He's got selective amnesia
It's not that He's old or losing His memory
It's just that He knows that we need His mercy
There's no excuse for living in sin
But there's always a chance to start over again
He knows it all and there's news that'll please ya
When it comes to that past, He's got selective amnesia
Press on, and never look back
Press on, the past is the past
Press on, He's paid for your debt
And you should just remember that you've got to forget
There is an eye in the sky that sees in the darkness

Selective amnesia
Selective amnesia
Selective amnesia
Say what?
Selective amnesia, huh!
