You been holding back
And I know you're afraid to feel
Some one hurt you long ago
And the wounds just did not heal

You never shed a tear
You had to keep control
So the wounds kept spreading
Until they got down in your soul

Don't you think it's time
Time to forgive
Leave the past behind
Live and let live

Been holding onto anger
Now it's got a hold on you
And bitterness keeps growing
Affecting everything you do

Time to break the chains
You could slip them off today
It's time to make some changes
Before your whole life slips away

Don't you think it's time
Time to forgive
Leave the past behind
Live and let live

Don't you think it's time
Time to forgive
Leave the past behind
Live and let live

Don't you think it's time
Time to forgive
Leave the past behind
Live and let live
