Citizen Swing - Forgive

Can I ask a question?
I'm lost again
My eyes don't seem to see too well today
Blinded like many
By the dust of my shame
I'm in the mood to find the only way

I've held the hand of ignorance
Been hustled by its bride
But hunger pains woke me from the sleep
I'll let you rearrange me
Pull my strings to change me
Could you for the things that I've done?
Things that I've done

My tongue can be so twisted
Many times my eyes have strayed
Away from wisdom's view I must admit
Grass' green luster
Always faded with philosophies
Dogma always end like comedy

But still you are so willing
To show me that you've given
All for the things that I've done

Things things that I've done
Things things that I've done
Things things that I've done

Forgive me
Wash away my foolish pride
Forgive me

Submersed in what you've spoken
Healed no longer broken
Promise me this bliss will never end

Shame's dust is gone
Been embraced by the sun
Now I'm free
From the things that I've done

Things that I've done
Things that I've done
Things that I've done

Like some kind of christening
I swear I heard somebody sing
Everyone tells me I've gone crazy
If you could see it
If you could see it

If you could see the view from here
