Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Toro, I am humble, for tonight, I understand

Your royal blood was never meant to decorate this sand

You've suffered great injustice, so have thousands before you

I offer an apology and one long overdue

[Verse 2]

I am sorry, Toro, I am sorry

Hear my song, I know I sing the truth

Although we were bred to fight

I reach for kindness in your heart tonight

[Verse 3]

And if you can forgive, and if you can forgive

Love can truly live

And if you can forgive, and if you can forgive

Love can truly live

[Verse 4]

Toro, I am frightened, but I'll use my final breath

To tell you that I'm sorry, let us end this dance of death

Two centuries of agony, that tore your heart with sand

Here and now with my amends, this senseless killing ends

[Verse 5]

I am sorry, Toro, I am sorry

Hear my song, I know I sing the truth

Although we were bred to fight

I reach for kindness in your heart tonight

[Verse 6]

And if you can forgive, and if you can forgive

Love can truly live

And if you can forgive, and if you can forgive

Love can truly live

And if you can forgive, and if you can forgive

Love, love will truly live
