You been holding back

And I know you're afraid to feel

Some one hurt you long ago

And the wounds just did not heal



You never shed a tear

You had to keep control

So the wounds kept spreading

Until they got down in your soul



Don't you think it's time

Time to forgive

Leave the past behind

Live and let live



Been holding onto anger

Now it's got a hold on you

And bitterness keeps growing

Affecting everything you do

Time to break the chains

You could slip them off today

It's time to make some changes

Before your whole life slips away



Don't you think it's time

Time to forgive

Leave the past behind

Live and let live



Don't you think it's time

Time to forgive

Leave the past behind

Live and let live



Don't you think it's time

Time to forgive

Leave the past behind

Live and let live
