[Storyteller.]

Had to go across the water just to find
what was here in my heart all along.
Spend 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...

Had to run to the arms of curiosity
just to find what was here in my life all along.
I had found that the art of simplicity
simply means making peace with your complexity.
If Gandhi 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've searched for romance,
flowers and affection.
What I found is a lesson
of what love really is.
Found the game of love is
not about how much you can take;
in fact 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.
I want you to know that I forgive you.
(Thank you for teaching how to give.)
And I wanna let you know how much you changed my life.
I wanna 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 guilt and misery
to find myself in an island in the middle of nowhere.
In my solitude I asked to know the highest truth
and what I was told is to thine own self be true.
If Jesus can forgive crucifixion,
surely we can survive and find resolution.
