my forgiveness

Lyrics

i never claimed to be a saint, but keep in mind neither are you, you wield your book like it's your greatest weapon, but did you ever stop and think that maybe, that was not its intention, its intention, so you can gnash your teeth and stomp your feet, say that i'll have hell to pay, but this tapestry of hate you've woven, has begun to fray, because in the end words are only words, yet you still hide behind them no matter who you hurt, so forgive me if i do not follow suit, then again who says my forgiveness lies with you, you have the right to disagree, for what it's worth i'll respect your beliefs, can't you afford the same compassion, to your fellow man even if you do not, understand his actions, his actions, so you can gnash your teeth and stomp your feet, say that i'll have hell to pay, but this tapestry of hate you've woven, has begun to fray, because in the end words are only words, yet you still hide behind them no matter who you hurt, so forgive me if i do not follow suit, then again who says my forgiveness lies with you, and if your heaven won't let me in, because i refuse to cast my stones, i'll spend eternity wandering, searching for a place to call my own, but i won't be alone, i never claimed to be a saint, but keep in mind neither are you, so you can gnash your teeth and stomp your feet, say that i'll have hell to pay, but this tapestry of hate you've woven, has begun to fray, because in the end words are only words, yet you still hide behind them no matter who you hurt, so forgive me if i do not follow suit, then again who says my forgiveness lies with you
