Forgiveness is free so you can always give it
But only if you are ready to live it
Or you can choose to live with the limitations
The burdens of grudges and continuing frustration
Of carrying the past with you into the future
Every day you must be your own abuser
Hanging on to something through force of pride
Something that surrounds you on every side
You’ll get tired of the burden eventually
You’ll decide to forgive so you can be free
Forgiveness really is the key to freedom
And the truth is you don’t even need a reason
Your ego is the only thing that may resist
But the burden you’ve been carrying will not be missed
Forgiveness is free so you can always give it
But only if you are ready to live it
