you are waiting on a beach
for a healing word to come
maybe an apology in a bottle
maybe a flare that says, “I’m sorry.”
and the hurting leaves you numb
will you forgive?
will you forget?
will you live what you know?
He left his rights
will you leave yours?
you don’t understand it
let it go
you are waiting on a beach
this is where the east meets west
and as another sun sets on your anger
the darkness laughs, as the wound destroys
and it turns your prayers to noise
will you forgive?
will you forget?
will you live what you know?
He left his rights
will you leave yours?
you won’t understand it
let it go
this bitterness you hide
it seeps into your soul
and it steals your joy
‘til it’s all you know
let it go
will you forgive?
will you forget?
will you live what you know?
He left his rights
will you leave yours?
you won’t understand
let it go
will you forgive?
will you forget?
will you live what you know?
beneath the cross
you hear His words,
“Father, forgive them,”
and you know
you can’t understand it
let it go
for a healing word to come
maybe an apology in a bottle
maybe a flare that says, “I’m sorry.”
and the hurting leaves you numb
will you forget?
will you live what you know?
He left his rights
will you leave yours?
you don’t understand it
let it go
this is where the east meets west
and as another sun sets on your anger
the darkness laughs, as the wound destroys
and it turns your prayers to noise
will you forget?
will you live what you know?
He left his rights
will you leave yours?
you won’t understand it
let it go
it seeps into your soul
and it steals your joy
‘til it’s all you know
let it go
will you forget?
will you live what you know?
He left his rights
will you leave yours?
you won’t understand
let it go
will you forget?
will you live what you know?
beneath the cross
you hear His words,
“Father, forgive them,”
and you know
you can’t understand it
let it go

This song talks about bitterness and letting go of things that have hurt you in the past. "Will you forgive, will you forget?"
This song has really spoken to me in times when I felt treated wrongfully. "He left his rights will you leave yours" makes my little problem seem paltry in comparison.
I think this song means if something in your life doesn't make sense or seems wrong just let it go.
I thinkthis song is about someone who refuses to let go of their anger and its hurting them by holding it in
this bitterness you hide it seeps into your soul and it steals your joy ‘til it’s all you know let it go
