Lyrics

“Wings Of Forgiveness”


I just want you to know after everything that we’ve been through

I just want you to know that I still love you

That I still love you


Hey, yeah, yeah

Had to go across the water

Just to find what was here in my heart all along

Spend so much time trying to be right that I was dead wrong


If Nelson Mandela can forgive his oppressors

Surely, I can forgive you for your passion


You’re only human

Let’s shake free this gravity of resentment

And fly high, and fly high

You’re only human

Let’s shake free this gravity of judgment

And fly high on the wings of forgiveness


Had to run to the arms of curiosity

Just to find what was here in my life all along

I have found that the art of simplicity

Simply means making peace of your complexity


If Gandhi can forgive persecution

Surely, you can forgive me for being so petty


I’m only human

Let’s shake free this gravity of resentment

And fly high, and fly high

You’re only human

Let’s shake free this gravity of judgment

And fly high on the wings of forgiveness


I’ve searched for romance, flowers and affection

What I found is a lesson of what love really is

Found the game of love is about how much you can take

In fact, authentic love is about how much you can give


After everything that we’ve been through

I just want you to know that I still love you

I want you to know that I forgive you

(Thank you for teaching how to give)

And I wanna let you know how much you changed my life

I wanna let you know you taught me how to fly

And I wrote this song to tell you this

I’m better ’cause you taught me how to give


I took a swim in the sea of guilt and misery

To find myself on an island in the middle of nowhere

In my solitude, I asked to know the highest truth

And what I was told is to thy own self be true


If Jesus can forgive crucifixion

Surely, we can survive and find a resolution


Let’s keep it moving

Let’s shake free this gravity of resentment

And fly high, and fly high

You’re only human

Let’s shake free this gravity of judgment

And fly high, and fly high

Let’s keep it moving

Let’s shake free this gravity of commitment

And fly high on the wings of forgiveness


After everything that we’ve been through

I just want you to know that I still love you

Want you to know that I still love you

(That’s right)

And I wanna let you know how much you changed my life

I wanna let you know you taught me how to fly

And I wrote this song to tell you this

I’m better ’cause you taught me how to give


I still love you

I want you to know that I still love you

Want you to know I still love you

(And I always will love you)

And I wanna let you know that I forgive you

I wanna let you know that I still love you

Want you to know that I still love you

I just want you to know that I still love you

I want you to know that I still love you

Want you to know that I still love you

And I wanna let you know that I forgive you

I wanna let you know that I still love you

Want you to know that I still love you

I just want you to know that I still love you

I want you to know that I still love you

Want you to know that I still love you
