India Arie - Wings Of Forgiveness Lyrics

Complimentary "Wings Of Forgiveness" Ringtone

I just want you to know 
After everything that we've been through 
I just want you to know 
That I still love you 
That I still love you

Had to go 
Across the water 
Just to find 
What was here in my heart all along 
Spend so much time 
Trying to be right 
That I was dead wrong 

If Nelson Mandela can forgive his oppressors 
Surely I can forgive you for your passion 

You're only human 
Let's shake free this gravity of resentment 
And fly high, and fly high 
You're only human 
Let's shake free this gravity of judgment 
And fly high on the wings of forgiveness 

Had to run 
To the arms of curiosity 
Just to find 
What was here in my life all along 
I had found that the art of simplicity 
Simply means making peace of your complexity 

If Gandhi can forgive persecution 
Surely you can forgive me for being so petty 

I'm only human 
Let's shake free this gravity of resentment 
And fly high, and fly high 
You're only human 
Let's shake free this gravity of judgment 
And fly high on the wings of forgiveness 

I've searched for romance 
Flowers and affection 
What I found is a lesson 
Of what love really is 
Found the game of love is 
Not about how much you can take 
In fact authentic love is about 
How much you can give 

After everything that we've been through 
I just want you to know 
That I still love you 
I want you to know 
That I forgive you 
(thank you for teaching how to give) 
And I wanna let you know how much you changed my life 
I wanna let you know you taught me how to fly 
And I wrote this song to tell you this 
I'm better cuz you taught me how to give 

I took a swim 
In the sea of guilt and misery 
To find myself in an island 
In the middle of nowhere 
In my solitude 
I asked to know the highest truth 
And what I was told 
Is to let own self be true 

If Jesus can forgive crucifixion 
Surely we can survive and find resolution 

Let's keep it moving 
Let's shake free this gravity of resentment 
And fly high, and fly high 
You're only human 
Let's shake free this gravity of judgment 
And fly high, and fly high 
Let's keep it moving 
Let's shake free this gravity of commitment 
And fly high on the wings of forgiveness 

After everything that we've been through 
I just want you to know 
That I still love you 
I want you to know 
That I still love you 
And I wanna let you know how much you changed my life 
I wanna let you know you taught me how to fly 
And I wrote this song to tell you this 
I'm better cuz you taught me how to give 

I still love you 
I want you to know 
I still love you 
Want you to know 
I still love you 
(And I always will love you) 
And I wanna let you know 
I forgive you 
I wanna let you know 
That I still love you 
Want you to know 
I still love you 
I just want you to know 
I still love you 
Want you to know 
I still love you 
Want you to know 
I still love you 
And I wanna let you know 
I forgive you 
I wanna let you know 
I still love you
