We're Forgiven

Well I would like to think

The world hasn't seen

That all the best is still to come,

And I know life ain't easy



I pass them sleeping on the streets

Their bloodstained hands and dirty feet

And I can't ignore them

Any more than I already have



CHORUS

So we laugh, and we smile

And we play our games of sweet denial

But don't tell me we're forgiven

If we hold, all our breath

If we kneel right down and just repent

You can't tell me we're forgiven



Start with me, I cannot lie

When my heart doesn't follow my eyes

Turn away, from all the suffering

That surrounds

Our time on this earth

For some their life has been a curse

I say I'm sorry and I should change

You know it just could be me someday



CHORUS



There's no way outta here

I don't wanna die, and leave it all behind

Each day a part of me disappears

But who am I to judge, what's been sent from above?



CHORUS



We can't laugh, we can't smile

When so much just ain't right

It can't go on forever

If we hold, our breath

If we kneel right down and repent,

You can't tell me we're forgiven, no,

You can't tell me we're forgiven
