Forgiveness

Posted on August 21, 2004October 28, 2015 By Doriano No Comments on Forgiveness

Here’s another great song called “Forgiveness” by Jim Witter (www.jimwitter.com).
It really makes you realize how stupid and cruel it is to hold onto grudges and not to forgive people who have hurt you!

Here are the words:


Forgiveness

(J.Witter/B. Tomberlin)

Little Mickey Johnson was my very best friend

In first grade we swore we’d stay that way to the end

But in seventh grade somebody stole my bike

I asked Mickey if he knew who did it, and he lied

Cause it was him…

And when I found out it hit me like a ton of bricks

And I can still see that look on his face when I said

“I never want to talk to you again”

Sometimes we lose our way

We don’t say things we should say

We hold on to stubborn pride

When we should put it all aside

To waste the time we’re given seems so senseless

And one little word shouldn’t be so hard

Forgiveness…

A little card arrived on my wedding day

“Best wishes from an old friend” was all it had to say

No return address, no, not even a name

But the messy way that it was written gave it away



It was him…

And I just had to laugh as the past came flooding through my mind

I should have picked up that phone right then and there

But I just didn’t make the time

(Chorus)

Sunday morning paper arrived on my step

The first thing I read filled my heart with regret

I saw a name I hadn’t seen in a while

It said he was survived by a wife and a child

And it was him…

When I found out, the tears just fell like rain

Cause I realized that I’d missed my chance

To ever talk to him again…

(Chorus)

(Tag) Forgiveness…

And one little word shouldn’t be so hard

Little Mickey Johnson was my very best friend
