And we all need forgiving
For all the damage done
For the things we do, not thinking
For the hurt that we've caused someone

But me, I keep on living
Caught somewhere there between
The reason and the meaning
The vision and the dream

We are all in this together
I know that seems easy to say
But don't use the word "forever"
It's enough just to say "someday"
