Careless words cut so deep, my heart breaks in two.
I just want to run away but I know what I must do.
I can't let the hurt have control.
Got to find the strength in my soul.

[CHORUS]
Before the sun goes down
Before the world spins around
Before a new day's found, I must forgive
There's a grace that I've been shown
Now I've got to pass it on
Got to make it right, right now
Before the sun goes down

Forgiveness is hard on my own, so I start to pray
Give me strength and courage Lord
Help me to be brave
I want to love just like you
Now's the time to make a move

[CHORUS]

I've gotta forgive
Wo-wo-wo
Before the sun goes down
I've gotta forgive
Wo-wo-wo
Before the world spins around
I've gotta forgive
Wo-wo-wo
Before the sun goes down
I've gotta forgive
Wo-wo-wo

[CHORUS X2]
