Final Straw
As your latest triumph draws the final straw
Who died and lifted you up to perfection?
And what silenced me is written into law.
I can´t believe where circumstance has thrown me
And I turn my head away
If I look I´m not sure that I could face you.
Not again. not today. not today.
If hatred makes a play on me tomorrow
And forgiveness takes a back seat to revenge
There´s a hurt down deep that has not been corrected.
There´s a voice in me that says you will not win.
And if I ignore the voice inside,
Raise a half glass to my home.
But it´s there that I am most afraid,
And forgetting doesn´t hold. it doesn´t hold.
Now I don´t believe and I never did
That two wrongs make a right.
If the world were filled with the likes of you
Then I´m putting up a fight. I´m putting up a fight.
Putting up a fight. make it right. make it right.
Now love cannot be called into question.
Forgiveness is the only hope I hold.
And love- love will be my strongest weapon.
I do believe that I am not alone.
For this fear will not destroy me.
And the tears that have been shed
It´s knowing now where I am weakest
And the voice in my head. in my head.
Then I raise my voice up higher
And I look you in the eye
And I offer love with one condition.
With conviction, tell me why.
Tell me why.
Tell me why.
Look me in the eye.
Tell me why.
