The pain subsides The anger in my heart has died Peace moves like mist As I open my bitter fist A clear sane head Tears from a smile instead This cage of resentment Crumbles to the ground Freeing my love to come out These chains on my heart break As I begin to forgive Grief crashing to pieces As I begin to forgive A murdered man looks down Forgiveness drifting from his mouth Floating through space and time Right to this heart of mine Ooh, these chains on my heart break As I begin to forgive Grief crashing to pieces As I begin to forgive Love straight from the Author's lips Grace for the cold and the cruel How can I hold a grudge and be like You These chains on my heart break As I begin to forgive Grief crashing to pieces As I begin to forgive I have found how to forgive
