The Price Of Regret

Everyone knows the price of regret

Things in life we never forget

Haunted by what we've done wrong

Yearning for the pain to be gone

Some hide in a bottle and some die in vain

Some wave a Bible and some just go insane

Lay down your judgement or lay down your shame

We're all God's children and we all breathe the same

You're black and I'm white

You're blinded by sight

Close your eyes and tell me the color of my skin

If we let today just pass away

Without kindness and forgiveness, there's no light

Everyone's broken, oh, everyone's scarred

All the things we needed wind up in the yard

Brothers and sisters, I mean you no harm

Healing's waiting in each other's arms

You're black and I'm white

You're blinded by sight

Close your eyes and tell me the color of my skin

If we let today just pass away

Without kindness and forgiveness, there's no light

Everyone knows the price of regret

Things in life we never forget
