Today we stand alone and worlds apart
Tonight I sleep with a shadow in my heart
It's not that I
Would ever try
To make you take the fall
It's only love that frees us after all
It's only love that frees us after all
I hear the whispers from miles and miles away
The tears are made from all the things we say
If only this
One single kiss
Could lay the pain to rest
The only thing we lost was forgiveness
The only thing we lost was forgiveness
This river is flowing
Our souls out to the sea
Our spirits are soaring
Into eternity
With the light of forgiveness
The light of forgiveness
We raise a child into this angry place
We war with all the tribes outside our race
When did we loose
The right to choose
To give with tenderness
When our children freely give us forgiveness
This river is flowing
Our souls out to the sea
Our spirits are soaring
Into eternity
This river is flowing
Our hearts out to the sea
Our spirits are soaring
Into eternity
With the light of forgiveness
The light of forgiveness
