Freedom in Forgiveness

(hmmm, yeah, mmm-mmm) I carried every word you said Like stones inside

a bag

Thinking holding onto anger

Would return the things I had

But every mile got heavier Every sunrise felt the same

Until I learned forgiveness

Doesn't mean forgetting pain

I forgive and fly

I release what I don't need

I can wish you peace And still protect the peace in me

I forgive and fly

No more chains around my mind I take the lesson Keep my

boundaries And leave the weight behind

Forgiveness isn't saying

That the wrong became okay

It's deciding yesterday

Doesn't get to own today

I choose freedom

I choose grace

I choose wisdom

I choose space I can heal without pretending

I can love without surrendering myself (surrendering myself,

yeah)

I forgive and fly

I release what I don't need

I can walk ahead

with dignity

And plant another seed

(I forgive and fly,

mmm-mmm)
