tides of forgiveness

I folded up the letters on the floor

Left the heavy keys beside the door

All the words we never got to mend

Resting where the story had to end

Carried all the blame across the years

Counting every silence, all the fears

Now my open hands begin to learn Some bridges are not meant

for our return

Let it slip away

like river stone

Forgive the broken heart

inside your own

What could not be saved was never yours to hold

A tender grace

waiting to unfold (to unfold)

Footprints in the frost begin to fade

No more bargaining with promises we made

I can watch the season turn its page Without the weight of

sorrow or of rage

Let it slip away

like river stone

Forgive the broken heart

inside your own

What could not be saved was never yours to hold

A tender grace

waiting to unfold

(let it go)

There is beauty

walking straight ahead

Breathing in the

road instead (ah-ah-ooh)

I am letting go

I am finally whole
