Everyone at some dark time
Has begged forgiveness for a crime
Born from haste or careless thought
Regretting lessons life has taught
We've all let moments slip away
Through selfishness or fleeting sway
Lost a chance we'd never know
Where it might have let us go
No one sees where paths will lead
Or the wrong turns we may breed
The roads will split the choice unclear
Guided by hope or swayed by fear
Don't judge if you'd rather
Escape judgment's tether
Forgive or you'll find
No mercy left behind
Remember how swiftly
Time fades into the mist
The only way to make it right
Is to live in peace with life
We stumble blindly in the dark
Chasing dreams that miss their mark
What we cling to we might lose
Yet grace is something we can choose
Each mistake a fleeting shade
Of choices past that we have made
But no regret can turn the tide
When love and pride have both collided
Every heart holds wounds to heal
Every soul must learn to feel
And though the path may twist and wind
The strength to forgive is hard to find
Don't judge if you'd rather
Escape judgment's tether
Forgive or you'll find
No mercy left behind
Remember how swiftly
Time fades into the mist
The only way to make it right
Is to live in peace with life
No one sees where paths will lead
Or the wrong turns we may breed
The roads will split the choice unclear
Guided by hope or swayed by fear
Don't judge if you'd rather
Escape judgment's tether
Forgive or you'll find
No mercy left behind
Remember how swiftly
Time fades into the mist
The only way to make it right
Is to live in peace with life
So take the time release the weight
For grudges only breed more hate
Find the peace within your mind
And leave regret far behind
