Forgiven

I wrote my name in the sand beside the ocean
In the morning it had all been washed away
The water had no memory of my visit
My slate was clean and I wanted it that way
I want to be forgiven like the sand along the coastline
Let the waters wash all my past away
Everything I’ve ever said
Everything I’ve done
All I’m asking for is to be… Forgiven
Wrote my confession on a page made out of paper
Tore it up and threw it in the fire
Watched the ashes swirl into the moonlight
Watched my sins dissolve into the sky
Oh, I want to be forgiven like the paper in the fire
Let the winds blow all my mortal sins away
Everything I’ve ever said
Everything I’ve done
All I’m asking for is to be… Forgiven
