Once in a lifetime lightning strikes
When fate comes calling your name
And in an instant a flame ignites
And nothing's ever the same
And you wonder how things might have been
Yes you wonder can you shed your skin
All your excuses and regrets
They seem so tired and old
And when you speak then no one forgets
They sound like tales you have told
So you suffer like you knew you would
Oh yes you suffer, like you know you should
Forgiveness waits for you
If you repent for your sin
Forgiveness through and through
'Cause I know where you have been
I know just where you have been
And you suffer
All of your secrets hidden deep
Have come to settle the score
And every nightmare while you sleep
Waits patiently by your door
And you wonder has the die been cast
Yes you wonder can you change the past
Forgiveness changes you
And gives you reason to live
Forgiveness through and through
But it ain't easy to give
No it ain't easy to give
So you suffer
Forgiveness waits for you
If you repent for your sin
Forgiveness through and through
'Cause I know where you have been
I know just where you have been
And you suffer
