Patty Griffin - Forgiveness Lyrics
We are swimming with the snakesAt the bottom of the wellSo silent and peaceful in the darkness where we fellBut we are not snakes and whats moreWe never will beAnd if we stay swimming here forever we willNever be freeI heard them ringing the bellsIn heaven and hellThey got a secretTheyre getting ready to tellIts falling from the skyCalling from the gravesOpen your eyes, boy, I think we are savedOpen your eyes, boy, I think we are savedLets take a walk on the bridgeRight over this messDont need to tell me a thing, babyWeve already confessedAnd I raised my voice to the airAnd we were blessedEverybody needs a little forgivenessEverybody needs a little forgivenessWe are calling for him tonight on thisThin phone lineAs usual were having ourselves oneHell of a timeAnd the planes keep flying right over our headsNo matter how lond we shoutHey, hey, hey !And we keep waving and wavingOur arms in the airBut were all tired outI heard somebody sayTodays the dayA big old hurricaineIs blowing our wayKnocking over the buildingsKilling all the lightOpen your eyes, boy, we made it through the nightOpen your eyes, boy, we made it through the nightLets take a walk on the bridgeRight over this messDont need to tell me a thing, babyWeve already confessedAnd I raised my voice to the airAnd we were blessedEverybody needs a little forgivenessEverybody needs a little forgiveness
