A Song

I heard a song a week or so ago and it stayed in my head ever since. It really makes you think about how we go about in our lives and how it should really be.
I won't talk too much I'll just leave you with the lyric and the song. Actually, I didn't want to write the lyric here because of two reasons.
The first and more important one is that if you read it without listening to the actual song it will lose some of its charm.
The second reason is that I looked all over the internet for it and couldn't find it so I went ahead and wrote it myself and there are a few words that I'm not so sure I heard correctly.

Anyway, you can find the song here.

PS. If at some point the link no longer works, you'll have to search for the song yourselves.(obvious, right?)

I'd appreciate any corrections in the lyric :)



India Arie - Wings of Forgiveness

Oooh

I just want you to know
After everything that we've been through
I just want you to know that I still love you
that I still love you

Yeaah

Had to go across the water
Just to find what was here in my heart all along
Spent so much time, trying to be right
That I was dead wrong
If Nelson Mandela can forgive his oppressors
Surely I can forgive you for your passion

You're only human
Let's shake free this gravity of resentment
And fly high and fly high
You're only human
Let's shake free this gravity of judgement
And fly high on the wings of forgiveness

Oooh, mmmm

Had to run to the arms of curiousity
Just to find what was here in my life all along
I have found that the art of simplicity
Simply means making peace with your complexity
If Gandhi can forgive persecution
Surely you can forgive me for being so petty

I'm only human
Let's shake free this gravity of resentment
And fly high and fly high
You're only human
Let's shake free this gravity of judgement
And fly high on the wings of forgiveness

I searched for romance, flowers and affection
What I found is a lesson of what love really is
Found the game of love is about how much you can take
But that authentic love is about how much you can give

After everything that we've been through
I just want you to know that I still love you
Want you to know that I forgive you
Thank you for teaching me how to give

And I want to let you know how much you changed my life
I want to let you know you taught me how to fly
And I wrote this song to tell you this
I'm better 'cause you taught me how to give

I took a swim in the sea of guilt and misery
To find myself on a island in the middle of nowhere
In my solitude I asked to know the highest truth
And what I was told is "To thine own self be true"
If Jesus can forgive Crucifixion
Surely we can survive and find a resolution

Let's keep it moving
Let's shake free this gravity of resentment
And fly high and fly high
You're only human
Let's shake free this gravity of judgement
And fly high fly high

Let's keep it moving
Let's shake free this gravity of commitment
And fly high on the wings of forgiveness

After everything that we've been through
I just want you to know that I still love you
Want you to know that I still love you
Let's fly high

And I want to let you know how much you changed my life
I want to let you know you taught me how to fly
and I wrote this song to tell you this
I'm better 'cause you taught me how to give

I still love you, Want you to know
I still love you
Want you to know I still love you
And I always will love you
And I want to let you know that I forgive you
I want to let you know that I still love you
Want you to know I still love you
I just want you to know I still love you
want you to know that I still love you
want you to know I still love you

Oooh
And I want to let you know I forgive you
I want to let you know I still love you
want you to know I still love you
(till fade out)
