Forgiveness

We are swimming with the snakes at the bottom of the well

So silent and peaceful in the darkness where we fell

But we are not snakes and what's more we never will be

And if we stay swimming here forever we will never be free

I heard them ringing the bells in heaven and hell

They got a secret they're getting ready to tell

Falling from the sky, it's calling from the graves

Open your eyes, boy, I think we are saved

Open your eyes, boy, I think we are saved

Let's take a walk on the bridge right over this mess

Don't need to tell me a thing, baby we've already confessed

And I raised my voice to the air and we were blessed

It's hard to give it's hard to get

But everybody needs a little forgiveness

We are calling for him tonight on this thin phone line

As usual we're having ourselves one hell of a time

And the planes keep flying right over our heads

No matter how loud we shout, hey, hey, hey

And we keep waving and waving our arms in the air

But we're all tired out

I heard somebody sayin', "Today's the day"

A big old hurricane she's blowing our way

Knocking over the buildings killing all the light

Open your eyes, boy, we made it through the night

Oh open your eyes, boy, we made it through the night

Let's take a walk on the bridge right over this mess

Don't need to tell me a thing, baby we've already confessed

And I raised my voice to the air and we were blessed

It's hard to give, it's hard to get, it's hard to get a little bit

But still I think it's the best bet, hey yeah

Hard to give, I'm never gonna forget

Everybody needs a little forgiveness

Everybody needs a little forgiveness
