Forgiveness |
| We are swimming with the snakes at the bottom of the well |
| So silent and peaceful in the darkness where we fell |
| But we are not snakes and what’s more we never will be |
| And if we stay swimming here forever we will never be free |
| I heard them ringing the bells in heaven and hell |
| They got a secret they’re getting ready to tell |
| It’s falling from the sky, calling from the grave |
| Open your eyes, boy, I think we are saved |
| Open your eyes, boy, I think we are saved |
| Let’s take a walk on the bridge right over this mess |
| Don’t need to tell me a thing, baby, we’re already confessed |
| And I raised my voice to the air and we were blessed |
| It’s hard to give, it’s hard to get |
| But everybody needs a little forgiveness |
| We are calling for help tonight on this thin phone line |
| As usual we’re having ourselves one hell of a time |
| And the planes keep flying right over our heads |
| No matter how loud we shout hey, hey, hey |
| And we keep waving and waving our arms in the air but we’re all tired out |
| I heard somebody saying today’s the day |
| A big old hurricane, she is blowing our way |
| Knocking over the buildings, killing all the lights |
| Open your eyes, boy, we made it through the night |
| Open your eyes, boy, we made it through the night |
| Let’s take a walk on the bridge right over this mess |
| Don’t need to tell me a thing, baby, we’re already confessed |
| And I raised my voice to the air and we were blessed |
| It’s hard to give, it’s hard to get |
| It’s hard to live it, but still I think it’s the best best |
| Hard to give, I’m never gonna forget |
| But everybody needs a little forgiveness |
| Everybody needs a little forgiveness |
