I decided today was a good day to pray
For forgiveness all around
For those who need to forgive others
Along with those who need to forgive themselves

When it comes to the heart of the matter
I believe that's where we're all at
Holding onto the thought that rots the heart
That unforgivable circumstance

Can we not see what it does to you and me
As layer upon layer unforgivness unfolds
Like the grip of a vice squeezing out all that's right
A deadly hold that won't let go

That's why today I decided to pray
For forgiveness all around
For those who need to forgive others
Along with those who need to forgive themselves
