Oleta Adams - Act of Forgiveness lyrics

Huh The battle is over the anger has ceased, a new life's beginning and my heart is at peace. We're goin' round in circles we've both had our say; And tried to be convincing, to have things our way. Well now, my heart is open and I'm ready to receive I'm knowin' that it's risky baby Somethin' that wants to believe. In the act of forgiveness forgetting our past; We need a love that's deservin' to last. the act of forgiveness beginning today; Gonna learn to love you in a brand new way. Well it felt like punches aimed straight from the heart, they were meant to be cripplin' baby, Meant to keep us apart. But somewhere now Momma overheard a hammer pain all hell to surrender, all the guilt and the blame. And it heals all of our sorrow and it dried all of our tears; And I remember the potion baby That made it all disappear. I believe in The act of forgiveness forgetting our past (we've gotta forget the past) We need a love that's deservin' to last. the act of forgiveness beginning today; Gonna learn to love you in a brand new way. (won't you help me sing this song, y'all) Bridge: I don't wanna fight with you, I only wanna be with you. Even though you broke my heart We can make a brand new start together baby, for the rest of our lives. Here's a word to hold on to, treat each other like lovers do, See if I don't love you more, better than the day before just you and me baby for the rest of our lives. The act of forgiveness forgetting our past (we've gotta forget the past) We need a love that's deservin' to last. the act of forgiveness beginning today; (right now, here today) Gonna learn to love you in a brand new way. (come on sing it one more time, y'all) Bridge: I don't wanna fight with you, I only wanna be with you. Even though you broke my heart We can make a brand new start together baby, for the rest of our lives. Here's a word to hold on to, treat each other like lovers do, See if I don't love you more, better than the day before just you and me baby for the rest of our lives.
