Collective Soul - Forgiveness Lyrics

Released: March 11, 1997

Songwriter: Ed Roland

Producer: Ed Roland

[Verse 1]
In my silence, I would love to forget
Restitution hasn't come, quite yet
And with one accord I keep pushing forth
I stretch my heart to heal some more

[Chorus]
It used to be all I'd want to learn
Was wisdom trust and truth
But now all I really want to learn
Is forgiveness for you

[Verse 2]
As my seasons change, I've now grown to know
When one's heart creates, one's soul doesn't owe
So I wash away stains of yesterday
Then tempt my heart with love's display

[Chorus]
It used to be all I'd want to learn
Was wisdom trust and truth
But now all I really want to learn
Is forgiveness for you

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
It used to be all I'd want to learn
Was wisdom trust and truth
But now all I really want to learn
Is forgiveness for you

[Chorus]
It used to be all I'd want to learn
Was wisdom trust and truth
But now all I really want to learn
Is forgiveness for you

[Instrumental Outro]
