Well, I would like to think
The world hasn´t seen
That all the best is still to come,
And I know life ain´t easy

I pass them sleeping on the streets
Their bloodstained hands and dirty feet
And I can´t ignore them
Any more then I already have

So we laugh, and we smile
and we play our games of sweet denial
But don´t tell me we´re forgiven
If we hold, all our breath
If we kneel right down and just repent
You can´t tell me we´re forgiven

Start with me
I cannot lie
When my heart doesn´t follow my eyes
Turn away from all the suffering
That surrounds
Our time on this earth
For some their life has been a curse
I say I´m sorry and I should change
You know it just could be me someday

So we laugh, and we smile
and we play our games of sweet denial
But don´t tell me we´re forgiven
If we hold, all our breath
If we kneel right down and just repent
You can´t tell me we´re forgiven

There´s no way out of here
I don´t want to die, and leave it all behind
Each day part of me disappears
But who am I to judge, what´s been sent from above

So we laugh, and we smile
and we play our games of sweet denial
but don´t tell me w´ere forgiven
if we hold, all our breath
if we kneel right down and just repent
you can´t tell me we´re forgiven

We can´t laugh
We can´t smile
When so much just ain´t right
It can´t go on forever...
If we hold, our breath
If we kneel down and repent
You can´t tell me we´re forgiven, no,
You can´t tell me we´re forgiven
