Where Did Forgiveness Go?

By Mark Bailey (original)

Verse 1
I have a friend, somebody did him wrong
He can’t forget it, he keeps holding on
To an anger inside, he won’t leave it alone
He telling the world what happened to him
And what he’s gonna do to get his sweet revenge
Gotta even the score, and prove, he’s still a man

Chorus
Where did forgiveness go
Threw it out the window buried in the snow
Who are you to judge, buddy,  don’t you know
That job’s already filled
You can’t receive , if you don’t give
It’s a lesson of life, teach you how to live
Down deep in your soul, There’s an empty hole
Where did, Forgiveness go

Verse 2
He said now if you’re gonna preach to me
Just open that book and read some history
Bout an eye for an eye, that’s the way it should be
He told me I could never understand
If it happened to me, I’d be a different man
It’s the only way, to ease the pain

Bridge
And then one day the tables turned
As he made a huge mistake, will he realize his own course of fate
Maybe now he understands, we all need a helping hand
As he fell on his knees, and he said, forgive me please
