Wings of Forgiveness Lyrics

I just want you to know,
After everything that we've been through
I just want you to know that I still love you
That I still love you

Had to go across the water
Just to find what was here in my heart all along
Spent so much time trying to be right, that I was dead wrong
If Nelson Mandela can forgive his oppressors,
Surely I can forgive you for your passion
You're only human

Let's shake free this gravity of resentment
And fly high, and fly high
You're only human
Let's shake free this gravity of judgment
And fly high on the wings of forgiveness

Had to run to the arms of curiosity
Just to find what was here in my life all along
I have found that the art of simplicity
Simply means making peace with your complexities
If Ghandi can forgive persecution,
Surely you can forgive me for being so petty
I'm only human

Let's shake free this gravity of resentment
And fly high, and fly high
You're only human
Let's shake free this gravity of judgment
And fly high on the wings of forgiveness

I searched for romance, flowers and affection
What I found is a lesson of what love really is
I found the 'game' of love is about how much you can take
But that 'authentic' love is about how much you can give

After everything that we've been through,
I just want you to know that I still love you
Want you to know that I forgive you
(Thank you for teaching me how to give)

And I want to let you know how much you changed my life
I want to let you know you taught me how to fly
And I wrote this song to tell you this:
I'm better 'cause you taught me how to give

I took a swim in the sea of guilty misery
To find myself on an island in the middle of nowhere
In my solitiude I asked to know the highest truth
And what I was told was to thine own self be true
If Jesus can forgive crucifiction
Surely we can survive and find a resolution
Let's keep it moving!

Let's shake free this gravity of resentment
And fly high, and fly high... You're only human!
Let's shake free this gravity of judgment
And fly high, and fly high... Let's keep it moving!
Let's shake free this gravity of committment
And fly high on the wings of forgiveness

After everything that we've been through,
I just want you to know that I still love you
Want you to know that I still love you

And I want to let you know how much you changed my life
I want to let you know you taught me how to fly
And I wrote this song to tell you this:
I'm better 'cause you taught me how to give

And I still love you, want you to know that I still love you
Want you to know that I still love you
And I always will love you

And I want to let you know that I forgive you
And I want to let you know that I still love you
Want you to know that I still love you

I just want you to know...That I still love you...
Want you to know that I still love you
Want you to know that I still love you

A great song of closure. I think she's forgiving a person/relationship that ended due to growth complications. They were on their journey for only a short time until they had to grow different ways.

I think the voice of this song used to be very selfish in her past relationships. She grew a lot from this other person now and she wants them to know that through it all, she still has love for him...

The questions is, did he forgive her? Let's hope so.
