If I’ve got to forgive the world
It’s gotta include you
I don’t think you know
What you did, do you
Coz you sent a dart 
Right through my heart
Until God made my pain
Into some kind of art
And I’ve been holding a grudge
Since 2005
And it’s a wonder
I’m still alive
With all the splicing
My soul seems to do
And it seems the splinter 
Began with you
As you took an axe
To my great tree
Thinking you could fell
The very best of me
And I came crashing
To the forest floor 
Til I realized pine needles
Were something I could adore
Coz they’re born of my symmetry 
And they contain
All of the teardrops 
I drank in as rain
That nourished the flow
That pumped my veins 
With blood that heats
A thousand refrains
And colours them
The deepest hue
I’m red as a sunset sky
And I let it through
Like a shepherd’s delight
To signal the morning 
Will be alright
And the storming
Will give way 
To a fragrant calm
I close my eyes
And trust the alarm
