Silent wave coming down on me   Washing out the lie   Living inside me   Life's not hard   Now I'm on tv   This sudden twist of fate      I am direct salvation   Just send in your donation   I can promise that you'll be saved      Forgive me, world   I'm just a man who's lost his way   Forgive me, these two words I pray   It's time to make a change      Yesterday was a different day   Thought I knew the answer   A vision in my mind      Search my soul   And then you will find   A shelter for my pain      The truth is in the open   And now my heart has spoken   Hoping maybe you'll hear my cry      Forgive me, world   I'm just a man who's lost his way   Forgive me, these two words I pray   It's time to make a change      Forgive me, world   I'm just a man who sins today   Forgive me, these two words I pray   My faith is still the same      Maybe I can't change the past   Maybe love can bring us back   Maybe we can try and start again.      Forgive me, world      Music & lyrics by: jimmy santis/richard tancredi/geoff downes & john payne
