Forgiveness is for me

it's not for you

Forgiveness is for me

it's not for you

Forgiveness is for me

it's not for you


1 - 2 - 3

I forgive you!

Ah so good, I'm so great

I don't hold grudges, I meditate!


4 - 5 - 6

I forgive me!

look at me go, forgiveness spree

this is my new philosophy!


life is good life is great life is good life is


no wait

what's wrong?

why does this hurt still?

why does healing take so long?


forgiveness is for me it's not for you

forgiveness is for me it's not for you

forgiveness is for me--


I'm numb . . .


I'm angry

I'm numb


I'm angry

I'm numb


it's not for you

forgivenessisformeitsnotforyou

forgivenessisformeitsnotforyou


Spring cherry blossoms

pink and white bursts of hope

obliterates despair


when I walk in your shoes

I make the same mistakes you do too

when I walk in your shoes

I'm no different than you


forgiveness starts with me

understanding you


understanding breathes spaciousness

into pain


wind rustling through a meadow of trees


understanding breathes spaciousness

into pain


transforms into ease



(nothing is forgotten)




forgiveness means I'm free
