The Power of Forgiveness

Sorrow moves the human heart
In ways we cannot see
'Til waking from a sleep, we find
We've fallen helplessly
Then in a flash of light, a ​crash of sound
We slip out of control
And though the night is all around
Still deep within the soul
Something longs to live
Something we must forgive

Step out of the river
Into a quiet place
And let those tears of memory
Come rolling down your face
And I'll begin to learn
How this world turns in your head
Step out of the river
And breathe the evening air
And let that falling rain
Tanglе in your hair
For in these moments of surrеnder
We understand
That in the power of forgiveness
This world is born again

There are roads where the innocent
Should never have to go
And reasons for the suffering
Beyond what we can know
Blessed is the human heart
And the wondrous things it does
Have mercy on a troubled heart
When it hurts the very thing
That it most loves
But we can learn forgiveness
We must learn forgiveness

Step out of the river
Into a quiet place
And let those tears of memory
Come rolling down your face
And I'll begin to learn
How this world turns in your head
Step out of the river
And breathe the evening air
And let that falling rain
Tangle in your hair
For in these moments of surrender
We understand
That in the power of forgiveness
This world is born again
Oh, in the power of forgiveness
We are born again

Step out of the river
Well, the act of love
Is an act of faith, yeah
What we ask of love
We must give in faith, oh...
Step out of the river, oh...

Forgiveness
Sweet forgiveness
Sweet, sweet forgiveness, oh...
Step out of the river
Forgiveness, forgiveness, oh...
