You say "I'm sorry"
But you don't mean it
You laugh when you steal
Then think you'll get away with it
  
You said that I hurt you
But, you're the one that started it
Never once, did you you ever think
That I got hurt and over it
  
So, you live like Satan
Without forgiveness
And teach your children
How to harm with vengeance
  
They don't know forgiveness
They don't know Jesus
Have you heard the way to live
These four lines, reread this
  
You can play the victim
But are you really fooling
Anyone but yourself
Who are you really fooling
  
Forgive us for our trespass
Forgive us as we sin
Forgive all that have trespassed
Or be the devil's friend
  
I hope you've learnt a lesson
And where you've sent your kids
You welcome me into your home
To rob me, then you spit
  
It was you who hurt me
When I was only ten
Pretend it never happened
That's okay, I can forgive
  
We can go on hurting
And never meet again
Or blame it all on someone
And be the devil's friend
  
I don't want to upset you
I know your only friend
he can never have me
Because I can forgive
  
The southern sun, it burns you
Because that's where you live
You think you took my money
But all you have is sin
  
You took all of my money
I made it back again
Because I can forgive you
Even though your dim
  
You call Bill Brown your father
His labels brand his kids
You call your pills your helpers
Those ****, they have, they did
  
If you can try forgiveness
You won't need ***** to live
It's all about forgiveness
Can you just forgive
  
Love is just forgiveness
Peace is all forgiveness
Life comes from forgiveness
Angels know forgiveness
  
God is just forgiveness
Life is for forgiveness
Love is all forgiveness
Forgiveness is forgiveness
