Description
This is a song about what happens after you realize that you are responsible for injustices that were done in your name, but that you were unaware of at the time. It's about what asking for forgiveness really entails. If you want to be political about it, you can.
Lyrics
Forgiveness. Sweet forgiveness. Please teach me, I need to learn. Forgive me. Please tell me, how I can earn, Forgiveness? Sweet Forgiveness? My blind eyes don’t excuse, The things my hidden arms have built. They can’t unfurl a flag of truce, Or absolve me of my guilt. Forgiveness. Sweet forgiveness. Please teach me, I need to learn. Forgive me. Please tell me, how I can earn, Forgiveness? Sweet Forgiveness? We thought we each were living, A blameless, commonplace life. Only taking, never giving, We delivered only strife. Now using hidden arms I will never, again be My eyes forever watching, My heart open with apology. Forgiveness. Sweet forgiveness. Please teach me, I need to learn. Forgive me. Please tell me, how I can earn, Forgiveness? Sweet Forgiveness. Sweet Forgiveness. Sweet Forgiveness.
