Forgive, the mother that's on drugs.
Who gave her child up out of love?
Forgive her.
Don't forget her.
For a blessing she was to you.

Forgive the father.
Who wasn't there for you?
When it seems he had the time?
But chose to be a fool.
Forgive him.
Don't forget him.
Things happen for many reasons.

Forgive the friend that did you wrong.
Forgiveness is more than hearing a song.
Forgive them.
Even if you never speak again.

Just remember that forgiveness begins within you.
It will hurt you more inside.
Then it ever will hurt them.

Their conscious will catch up.
But not as fast as yours.
Forgiveness begins with us.

If we ever knew anything about love.
