When the pain is deep and the gash is wide,
Do we pretend all is well, when its not?
Can we forgive…can we?
What we feel what can't be forgot!
When the wound is like no other,
And the pain and torment's too much,
Can we forgive…can we?
What do we use as a crutch?
When the hurt is insurmountable,
And forgiveness is so out of sight,
Can we forgive…can we?
When the nightmares are there each night!
When time is of no consequence,
And healing just isn't there…
Can we forgive…can we?
When life just isn't fair!
When time passes by and the years have flown,
But still the pain is great…
Can we forgive…can we?
And what about the punishment debate!
When we walk the shoes of hell,
And when the hate is too much to bear,
Can we forgive…can we?
When revenge is always, always there!
When we see through different eyes,
As we thrive and grow and excel,
Can we forgive…can we?
When all we want for them is hell!
When the pain rips you apart,
And we can't see for the blinding hate…
Can we forgive…can we?
Before it festers, before it's too late!
When you know inside your heart and head,
That forgiveness may never be…
Can we forgive…can we?
Is it something I'll ever see?
When feelings are in turmoil and you're hurting,
And you're told you must let it go,
Can we forgive…can we?
No, the answer is always NO!
When time passes and you mellow,
And don't let it destroy you anymore,
But Hate and forgiveness still won't go away,
Even though you've passed through another door.
When you're told you'll be damned to hell,
When you're preached and told to forget!
Can we…can we forgive?
When your hate's a bile and all we get!
You come to terms, yes it happened,
And you will always, always hate...
But we can let go the bitterness...
It's never, no never too late!
Destroying ourselves means they've won!
Destroying is the name of their game!
Destroying and hurting like nothing on earth,
Destroying, that's their ultimate aim...
