I yearn for it to control my heart
I thirst for it like I do water
It's the one thing I can't seem to find
If I do I'll pour it out like a shower
And free us all from this monster.
My mind is an instigator
It always remembers what they did to me
And I wonder how many of us are actually prisoners
To the brain's manipulative power and ability
To forget that love conquers all.
I pray forgiveness invades my heart like a settler
And makes resentment forget it ever owned me.
I pray for hate to be purged out of my system
Because all I want to be is a true witness
To beauty and love in the form of human beings
So hateful but so loved
So underserving yet so forgiven.
Replace rain with forgiveness
So I can grow my garden of love
In gorgeous hues only you can create
White, black, brown and yellow.
I want to love them all.
I yearn for forgiveness to control my heart
I thirst for forgiveness like I do water.

I yearn for forgiveness to control my heart
I thirst for forgiveness like I do water.
I don't want to be bitter. So many times our anger and vulnerability is used to exploit us. Wouldn't we be better off if we just focused on love?
