lyrics

[Chorus v1]
My heart now healed, I forgive you
"You are welcome" - strange words confuse
Why not "Thank you"? - I don't understand

[Verse 1]
Life one: I recall how you broke my heart
Betrayed, ran away with the new boy
Destroyed happy family dream
Therapy life-long for our children

[Chorus v2]
But my heart now freed, I forgive you
"You are welcome" - strange words bemuse
Why not "Sorry"? - I don't understand

[Verse 2]
Life two: I recall how you dumped your stuff
Anything to avoid own your baggage
Shame, blame, defame, soul-control, enslave
Made me feel your shit is my fault, Dad

[Chorus v3]
But my heart now full, I forgive you
"You are welcome" - strange words confound
Why not "Regret"? - I don't understand

[Verse 3]
Last life: I recall how you stole my calf
In tea drank my milk
Then you murdered me for meat

[Spoken Word]
So much you desired to explore and experience forgiveness to the fullest possible extent that we realised a very dedicated adversary would be required. Someone with whom you could cross paths over several lives ... each time on the receiving end of one kind of abuse or another. we advertised high and low ... across the three planetary systems ... nothing! no-one! ... even Hitler passed on the role!

Finally I stepped forward ... they warned me I would forget our plan as I got into character ... but that was necessary so I could play the parts in a believable way ... I accepted (what was I thinking?!) ... just one proviso I negotiated .... that at the very end we would get to sit down together and the whole scheme would be revealed. So here we are, my dear friend, and now I think you know it all. What say you?

[Chorus v4]
Now my soul rejoice, I thank you
"You are welcome" - no more words confuse
"I love you" ... "We always loved you"
