Forgiveness Lyrics - One Hundred Years From Now - Dennis Deyoung

Once in a lifetime lightning strikes 

When fate comes calling your name 

And in an instant the flame ignites 

And nothing's ever the same 

And you wonder 

How things might have been 

Yes you wonder 

Can you shed your skin 

All your excuses and regrets 

They sound so tired and old 

And when you speak them no one forgets 

They sound like tales you have told 

So you suffer 

Like you knew you would 

Oh and you suffer 

Like you know you should 

Forgiveness waits for you 

If you repent for your sin 

Forgiveness through and through 

'cause I know where you have been 

I know just where you have been 

And you suffer 

All of your secrets hidden deep 

Have come to settle the score 

And every nightmare when you sleep 

Waits patiently by your door 

And you wonder 

Has the die been cast 

Oh yes you wonder 

Can you change the past? 

Forgiveness changes you 

And gives you reason to live 

Forgiveness through and through 

But it ain't easy to give 

No it ain't easy to give 

So you suffer 

Forgiveness waits for you 

If you repent for your sin 

Forgiveness through and through 

'cause I know where you have been 

I know just where you have been 

And you suffer
