Forgiveness - Mike Love

Tell me why you hide your eyes

Its no wonder why you can’t embrace me, just can’t face me now

If you knew, walked in my shoes, but brother you haven’t even tried

To see the truth, open your eyes

To see things from the other side

How long have we shared this blood?

You’ve been a friend to me since the elementary

How could this come to be that we’re common enemies?

It’s about time we rose above and buried this grudge you been carrying round

How I’ve tried to make things right

But still you turn your face and hide from my sight

Is this the end, should we pretend that our friendship means nothing?

Forgive and forget or you’ll always regret the friendships that you lose

Everyone makes a mistake, time to time, needs a break

So be the bigger man and choose forgiveness

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone

If you can’t learn to forgive, you’ll end up alone

Searching for the words to say «I'm sorry»

Filled with such regret over these petty differences we had

But these four syllables can mend: «I forgive you»

Forgive and forget or you’ll always regret the friendships that you lose

Everyone makes a mistake, time to time, needs a break

So be the bigger man and choose forgiveness

Forgive and forget or you’ll always regret the friendships that you lose

Everyone makes a mistake, time to time, needs a break

So be the bigger man and choose forgiveness

We were born into this world

Smiling, stumbling, stubborn fools

Untainted by egotistical hatred

All we have is each other’s Love so let us cherish it and rise above

Envy, greed and jealousy

I’ll forgive you, you forgive me

What can put the kindness of a true friend to the test, forgiveness

What can put a lonely, lamenting spirit to rest, forgiveness

What can reunite a grandfather with his children, forgiveness

What can put a broken home back together again, forgiveness

So take another walk down the road, take another step down the road

Take a another walk down the road, take a step on the road to forgiveness

So take another walk down the road, take another step down the road

Take a another walk down the road, take a step on the road to forgiveness
