Forgiveness Written By Patrick Smith (RIP) and John Rafferty

I'm asking for Forgiveness, take the time,
to dig me up,
shake the dirt off of my body, tell the
world I've had enough,
shake the tree that I do lean on, make me stand up
on my own,
tell me what I've done this evening. I’m the boy who can’t go home

And I’m all, yes I’m all, alone
And I’m all alone

Cut the roots that hold me down now, go and laugh
If you must,
See our lives are flying by now, no it ain’t no sin to lust
Cut the sky, that I do bleed here, let me know that I’m alive,
All the pain I ever wanted, was just standing by your side

In a time, I need of rescue, my appearance sure is bleak,
I have gathered information, in the hindsight of being weak,
Though I never stood for nothing, and I will not stand with you,
Keep your pistol in your pocket, when you know I spoke the truth
