FORGIVEN

I am holding out may hands,
Stop me if you can
Everything we fought about has fallen
And now all we have is here where we stand
And all we can be I hear in the end

You can see the wind blow when she bends the trees
Moves so silent, closer when we breathe
All I have is here in my hands and with all I am and with all I am

I will, I will, forgive this
I will. I will forgive this

I am holding out my hands,
Help me if you can
Everything we fought about is gone
And now all we have is here where we stand
And with all we can be, and with all I am

I will, I will, forgive this
I will, I will, forgive this...

She sits like a tall tin soldier
He looks across the sky
Waiting to keep the appointment
Leaving again so soon
Leave you in all that quiet standing alone at the door
Keeping it open or closed
You can't decide anymore

They'll run to you, one day, in time
And they'll know how you love them

Isn't it just like you planned it
Hanging around with the pain
Waiting for something to tell you you'll never let them go again
Remember teh chalk white circle, either way you lose
So hold the glass in your hand and smile and drink what you choose

They'll run to you one day in time
And they'll know how you love them
They'll run to you
One moment it will all come clear and they'll know how hard you loved them
To let them go, to let them go, you let them go, you let them go

But they'll run to you one day in time.....

Holding on til they come home
Holding on while you're alone
Holding on until they see how hard you loved them to set them free....
