We Can Forgive (R-E) Lyrics

There are people that for whatever reason

Have a sense of justice to push through

To retaliate or for revenge

Seek to cause grief and suffering to you

From reactions and cause and effect

The suffering and hurt is hit or miss

But for all that it does or doesn't do

Little to no good can come from this

And when we've been wronged

Beset to break

It's hard not to react to get back

For vengeance sake

And it's how to choose

From what it is

But as all else fails

We

Can

Forgive

There are people easily offended

With a short fuse

To fight and react

They may see the error in their ways

But all they want to do is to strike back

Who understands the underlying reasons

Why a person lets the dogs of war loose

What matters more is how we response

To their exploitation and abuse

When we've been wronged

Dignity taken away

There are those who believe

Any payback is okay

And it's never easy

Sorting out what it is

But it's good to know, my friend

We

Can

Forgive

We have a choice; we have a right

To follow a dark path or step out into the light

Somehow someway, love has to start

That healing process for a change of heart

And when we've been wronged

Bad feelings grow

We can hold on to that anger, or we can let it go

And it's hard to choose

From what it truly is

For the sake of our well-being

We

Can

Forgive

We can forgive
