Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Deep in our hearts
Where pain resides
The weights leaving marks
That scars cannot hide
[PreChorus]
Rising above
The storms that we make
The key to the soul
The soul to be saved
[Chorus]
Is to forgive
The unforgivable
Means we live
And healing begins to show
[Verse 2]
Bitterness, a crutch
It clings like a cloak
The poison of hate
Has to be revoked
[PreChorus]
It's never about
Excusing what's wrong
There's only one way
For us to be strong
[Chorus]
Is to forgive
The unforgivable
It means we live
And healing begins to show, show
[PreChorus]
Rising above
The storms that we make
The key to the soul
The soul and heart to be saved
[Chorus]
Is to forgive
The unforgivable
It means we live
And healing begins to show
