So easily we say I’m sorry

When we have done something wrong

It may be sincere or phony

We just say it to get along

But the truth is we need forgiveness

Not just an apology said

I’m sorry is so overused

The word might as well be dead

But to ask for forgiveness is harder

It says that I truly feel bad

For the thing that I’ve done to hurt you

I hate it that you’ve become sad

I pray you’ll forgive me for what I have done

I pray that we still can be friends

And when you say all is forgiven

We will celebrate throughout the land
