Forgiveness + Peace = Freedom
What happens when an eye for eye
has left the whole world blind
Will that be the time we see
we should've left the past behind
With each liberty they take
with each human right ignored
they build for us a prison
for the safety it affords
Until we are no longer free
and they've stopped us being brave
by promoting threats and fear
to make sure that we behave
Forgiveness is the only way
to get peace back on the shelves
for until we forgive others
we will never free ourselves.
