Forgiveness

How do I count the ways,

To earn your forgiveness,

Do I wait until I'm old and gray,

Slowly fading away,

To earn your forgiveness,

To allow you to let me stay,

Do I walk a million miles,

Or until my toes bleed,

To earn your forgiveness,

To tell you what I need,

Do I climb a mountain,

Risking my life,

To earn your forgiveness,

To end all strife,

Do I attempt to convince you,

Tying you to a chair,

To earn your forgiveness,

To tell you everything to clear the air,

Do I bare my soul,

For your amusement,

To earn your forgiveness,

To agree on a settlement,

Do I have to conquer the world,

So you can see the leader in me,

To earn your forgiveness,

To reveal me for you to see,

Do I fail,

Before I win,

To earn your forgiveness,

To make up for my sin.
