Lyrics:
V1
Hurtful people turned on me
Couldn't really understand
Hoped I could learn to be free
No one there to hold my hand
V2
I felt if I said the words (forgiveness, forgiveness)
Pain would all be done
Really needed to be heard
Felt like I mattered to no one
Chorus
I decided to forgive
But wasn't sure where to start
Gave myself permission to live
Learned to speak from the heart
In time I found my voice
Now feel like I have a choice
Forgiveness, forgiveness
Bridge
Forgiving others may be easier
Then forgiving myself
V3
In the mirror I saw shame
Hurt and anger was all I felt
Disconnected from my name
Had to learn to forgive myself
Chorus
I decided to forgive
But wasn't sure where to start
Gave myself permission to live
Learned to speak from the heart
In time I found my voice
Now feel like I have a choice
Forgiveness, forgiveness
