…harm
I was weakened by temptation's wing of charm
I want to be forgiven
I want to hold you in my arms again
To be forgiven…
…'Cause I still need a friend
I want to be forgiven
I want to hold you in my arms again
To be forgiven
'Cause I still need a friend
I…
…want to be forgiven
Almost drowning in the sea of sin
Can you ease the pain I feel within
Never meant to cause you trouble
Never…

In Heaven for you and me
Oh, it feels good to be forgiven
Oh, it feels good to be forgiven, yes it does
If you ain't sure you can…
…sing along
Look down deep, 'cause something's very wrong
Oh, it feels good to be forgiven
We got laundry like all…
…the rest
But we're forgiven, we're so blessed
Jesus proved it and I have found
You can't keep a good man down
Oh, it feels good to be forgiven…

Chorus
Do you want to be forgiven?
Do you want to go to heaven?
Freedom from your sin
Peace and joy within
Only life worth…
…living!
Do you want to live forever?
In a place where sorrow comes no never
Come and go with me all the way to Calvary
If you want to be forgiven…
…you want to be forgiven?
Do you want to go to heaven?
Freedom from your sin
Peace and joy within
Only life worth living!
Do you…

Chorus
Do you want to be forgiven?
Do you want to go to heaven?
Freedom from your sin
Peace and joy within
Only life worth…
…living!
Do you want to live forever?
In a place where sorrow comes no never
Come and go with me all the way to Calvary
If you want to be forgiven…
…you want to be forgiven?
Do you want to go to heaven?
Freedom from your sin
Peace and joy within
Only life worth living!
Do you…

I've got to choose a road with
Many churches along
I need to be forgiven
Before I can be moving on
I've got to find those…
…is prison
And there's no place I wanna be
I've got to read some chapters
To teach me good and kind
I need to be forgiven
For the dark things on my mind
‘Cause…
…other way is prison
I can't stay there all night
I need to earn salvation
That can help me just to be
I need to be forgiven
Before I ever can walk free…

…the time to waste a moment
Oh, never ask to be forgiven
Sexy was her boyfriend with no kin
Always running from the law
Every other…
…the price to all this living
[whoa] Never ask to be forgiven
[whoa] Take the time to waste a moment
[whoa] Face…
…it where the lines are broken
[whoa] Name the price to all this living
[whoa] Never ask to be forgiven…

…[Verse 1]
Taking the fine line now I find
I'm talking in rhythms
Follow the beat from a lonely heart
And wait to be forgiven…
Moulding the motions in my mind
Twenty-five-seven
Live it over time and time
A chance to be forgiven
[Chorus]
As I wake…
…something to remind me
[Verse 2]
Try as the memories unfold
To rebuild your heaven
Letting them bury deep inside of you
Try to be forgiven…

…want
Right or wrong
Then we lie to be forgiven
We would sell anything just to buy who we're not
Any cost
We kill our way…
…anything just to hear what we want
Right or wrong
Then we lie to be forgiven
We would sell anything just to buy who we're…
…not
Any cost
We kill our way to heaven
We would say anything just to hear what we want
Right or wrong
Then we lie to be forgiven
We…

…gone
Safe on the road that speeds from your front door
I can't turn around 'cause I long to be forgiven
It hangs in my hair…
…and the hems of my clothes
I thought in the madness my arms could not hold
I can't tell you why 'cause I long to be forgiven
So far…
My heart might be willing by this time next year
I can't make you wait 'cause I long to be forgiven
So far away
Curses wild upon you
Hungry and gaining
Porch light burns so far away
Miles away…

…by a man
Who offers you cosmic protection
Don't pray for me, I don′t need to be forgiven
Everybody goes to hell in somebody else's religion…
…was too scared to leave
Do I really deserve to be tortured forever
Because I no longer believe
Don′t pray for me, I don't need to be forgiven…
…didn't lose my faith, I threw it away, I threw it away
Don′t pray for me, I don't need to be forgiven
Everybody goes…

As our blood runs red
Would you die to be forgiven?
Or live to see the truth?
Your faith will decide who you are
Are you running…
And the cut is as deep
And the tears that you cry taste the same
We're all equal in steel
Those wounds never heal
As our blood runs red
Would you die to be forgiven…
…in peace
Would you die to be forgiven?
Or live to see the truth?
Faith will decide who you are
Are you running…

…the bottle and bite the lime
There ain't no moral to this story at all
And anything I tell you very well could be a lie
I've been away from the living, I don't need to be forgiven
I'm just waiting…
…the bottle and bite the lime
And there ain't no moral to this story at all
And anything I tell you very well could be a lie
I've been away from the living, I don't need to be forgiven
I'm…
…be a lie
There ain't no morals to these stories at all
And everything I tell you, you can bet will be a lie
I been away from the living, I don't need to be forgiven…

…a syncopated change of pace to your rhythm
I'm living with autism
And these bars formed the cells of my mental prison
Until I saw I didn't need to be forgiven…
…with autism
And these bars formed the cells of my mental prison
Until I saw I didn't need to be forgiven
For being me, and living with autism
[Verse 3: Dan Bull…
…of pace to your rhythm
I'm living with autism
And these bars formed the cells of my mental prison
Until I saw I didn't need to be forgiven…
