From little kids on the playground to the mightiest nation state
We rarely learn to let it go, and we choke on our own hate
We could be flyin' free but we just drag around that weight
From little kids on the playground to the mightiest nation state
The hardest thing to do is to forgive
The hardest thing to do is to forgive
The hardest thing to do is just to live free from the rage
The hardest thing to do is to forgive
It's so often that our bitterness has shackled us in chains
It clutches us so tight that it drives us half-insane
and just when we think it's gone then it's comin' round again
It's so often that our bitterness has shackled us in chains
The hardest thing to do is to forgive...
O God in your mercy will you help us make a new start?
Will you swoop down like a liberating wind
and clean out these old hearts?
Will you save us from ourselves
before we're wrecked and torn apart?
O God in your mercy will you help us make a new start?
