Forgive them that tear d own my soul,
bless them that they m ight grow old,
And free them so that t hey may know,
that it's never t oo late.
For the many times, what see med like a memory,
I've searched and found the ways,
You used to lure me in,
Oh, I found the ways, oh, w hy it had to be,
My'd own den ial, and so afraid.
If we ever find it's true,
that we have a strength to choose,
Oh, freedom of all the chain s
We have tog ether.
