Act of Forgiveness Oleta Adams

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
