MEL'S GARDEN
SOMETHING INSIDE MORE PRECIOUS THAN WORDS EVER HEARD
how can I ask for forgiveness when I don't forgive myself when the scars are still not healed when life still drips from the shelf where the story stays unfinished and the hope bleeds all the time for the sake of undersanding I am writing this rhyme I am so tired of feeling sorry for myself I am so tired of hiding out up on a shelf I know I keep using the same old words to rhyme I keep hoping I'll get the words right in time in time to somehow makes amends for my crime so I can forgive myself and... can you forgive me for messing up your life? I never had a child, let alone a wife I did the best I could to learn what I should have always known and I wonder have you learned to forgive me as you've grown? can you forgive me for teaching you to fail? I never did before, let alone went to jail I wish I could somehow turn back the hands of time to start again I wonder if you understand the words you said to me back then family forgives everything can you forgive me now? family forgives everything can you show me how? agony is what I sing without you today what did tomorrow bring after I went away? I wish I know what to say I am so tired of feeling sorry for myself I am so tired of hiding out up on a shelf I know I keep using the same old words to rhyme I keep hoping I'll get the words right in time in time to somehow makes amends for my crime so I can forgive myself and... they tell me forgiveness is sublime I'd sell my soul for your forgiveness please hear me, please respond without you I know no forgiveness just some empty space beyond the agony still I remember the words you said to me family forgives everything can you forgive me now? family forgives everything can you show me how? agony is what I sing without you today what did tomorrow bring after I went away? I wish I know what to say family forgives everything... are we still family today? Forgiveness Ric Candor ©2000  EMAIL
