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 then i already have
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
there's no way out of here
i don't want to die
and leave it all behind
each day part of me disappears
but who am i to judge
what's been sent from above
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 down and repent
you can't tell me we're forgiven
no
you can't tell me we're forgiven
