Forgiven - Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals

I will wait like nothing

I have ever waited for

I will catch your tears from falling

Until from my hands they pour

You can leave me abandoned

I’ll be here if you walk back in

Like the rest I have been branded

Far beneath the skin

So far beneath the skin

You shall be, you shall be

You shall be forgiven

You shall be, you shall be

You shall be forgiven

Here I have been standing

But the time has come and gone

I tried singing to you

But you turned my words to stone

Here I have been waiting

It seems for quite a while

Changed all my reflections

But inside still just a child

But inside still just a child

You shall be, you shall be

You shall be forgiven

You shall be, you shall be

You shall be forgiven

These eyes weren’t made for crying

This love wasn’t made to waste

These arms weren’t made for battle

But to share in your embrace

But to share in your embrace

You shall be, you shall be

You shall be forgiven

You shall be, you shall be

You shall be forgiven

You shall be, you shall be

You shall be forgiven, yeah

You shall be, you shall be forgiven
