Forgiveness

We are swimming with the snakes at the bottom of the well
So silent and peaceful in the darkness where we fell
But we are not snakes and whats more we never will be
And if we stay swimming here forever we will never be free
I heard them ringing the bells in heaven and hell
They got a secret theyre getting ready to tell
Falling from the sky, its calling from the graves
Open your eyes, boy,
I think we are saved
Open your eyes, boy,
I think we are saved
Lets take a walk on the bridge right over this mess
Dont need to tell me a thing, baby weve already confessed
And I raised my voice to the air and we were blessed
Its hard to give its hard to get
But everybody needs a little forgiveness
We are calling for him tonight on this thin phone line
As usual were having ourselves one hell of a time
And the planes keep flying right over our heads
No matter how loud we shout, hey, hey, hey
And we keep waving and waving our arms in the air
But were all tired out
I heard somebody sayin, 'Todays the day'
A big old hurricane shes blowing our way
Knocking over the buildings killing all the light
Open your eyes, boy, we made it through the night
Oh open your eyes, boy, we made it through the night
Lets take a walk on the bridge right over this mess
Dont need to tell me a thing, baby weve already confessed
And I raised my voice to the air and we were blessed
Its hard to give, its hard to get, it's hard to get a little bit
But still
I think its the best bet, hey yeah
Hard to give,
Im never gonna forget
Everybody needs a little forgiveness
Everybody needs a little forgiveness
