Forgiveness

Hier

Like a shadow falling on my heart,
a stab, a word, a painful dart.
But wait – before the anger grows,
I see it’s fear that always shows.

Each act, each deed, a story keeps,
from wounds and fears that cut so deep.
From hopes long lost, from scars unseen,
a past that haunts where they’ve been.

(Pre-Chorus)
How can I judge what’s torn apart,
when even they don’t know the start,
the root, the need, the silent plea,
that led them to this misery?

(Chorus)
And yet – when pain ignites my soul,
when rage begins to take control,
I pause, I breathe, and I begin:
Forgiveness lets the healing in.

Not for the other – no, for me,
to set my heavy spirit free,
my heart, my life, no longer chained,
’til peace within is truly gained.

(Bridge)
What I hold onto, holds me tight,
anger binds me in its fight.
But letting go, the wounds will fade,
and light will break the darkest shade.

(Chorus)
And yet – when pain ignites my soul,
when rage begins to take control,
I pause, I breathe, and I begin:
Forgiveness lets the healing in.

Not for the other – no, for me,
to set my heavy spirit free,
my heart, my life, no longer chained,
’til peace within is truly gained.

(Outro)
Forgiveness shines, a guiding light,
breaking through the darkest night.
A gentle path, a quiet plea:
Let love prevail,
