LYRICS - A Bit of Forgiveness - Shari Ulrich
We took a trip to the edge
To the scene of the wreckage to lay it to rest
We found our way through the trees
We could see all the pieces
Washed up on the beach
Buried there in the sand
Were the words and the reasons
We dropped when we ran
So sure they’d all washed away
Over time over seasons
With the tide and the waves
If I had wishes, only three
I’d use them up so easily
I’d need at least a dozen maybe more
Surely first would be peace on earth
And probably third that I hadn’t hurt you
Seems in every wish
There’s a bit of forgiveness
We moved to higher ground
To a place that was safe
With the pieces we found
We held them up to the light
They were sad, they were sweet
All of them full of surprises
If I could have my every wish
I’d change the course of all of this
I'd need at least a dozen maybe more
Surely first would be peace on earth
And probably third that I hadn’t hurt you
Seems in every wish
There’s a bit of forgiveness
We would have done better only if we could
Kept it all together if we’d understood
Just how precious are these
Roots & bones & heart & home
I’m so glad that you called
After all of the pride after the fall
We found our way through the trees
To the light, to the words
That set us both free
If I were granted all my wishes
None would be for gold or riches
I'd need at least a hundred maybe more
Fourth or fifth I can’t admit to
And down the list is that I didn’t miss you
Seems in every wish
There's a bit of forgiveness
