Forgive Me

I came here to forgive myself
For the judgment I have held
It's time to let go
I've carried this stone too long
It's time for moving on

Let the river
Let the river wash it clean
And from here on let it be
It's really over now

Let the sunlight
Let the sunlight warm my skin
Let it make me whole again
'Cause I'm ready
To forgive me
Ahh...

I've lived in the past too long
So tired of the sorrow song
So I'm here
To give it up to the sky
And start on another life

Let the river
Let the river wash it clean
And from here on let it be
It's really over now

Let the sunlight
Let the sunlight warm my skin
Let it make me whole again
'Cause I'm ready
To forgive me

We can only run so far
With our cold regrets and scars
Hide the lights we really are
But I'm too tired to fight that war
Anymore

Let the river
Let the river wash it clean
And from here on let it be
It's really over now

Let the sunlight
Let the sunlight warm my skin
Let it make me whole again
'Cause I'm ready
To forgive me
Said I'm ready
To forgive me
