You been holding back   And I know you're afraid to feel   Some one hurt you long ago   And the wounds just did not heal      You never shed a tear   You had to keep control   So the wounds kept spreading   Until they got down in your soul      Don't you think it's time   Time to forgive   Leave the past behind   Live and let live      Been holding onto anger   Now it's got a hold on you   And bitterness keeps growing   Affecting everything you do      Time to break the chains   You could slip them off today   It's time to make some changes   Before your whole life slips away      Don't you think it's time   Time to forgive   Leave the past behind   Live and let live      Don't you think it's time   Time to forgive   Leave the past behind   Live and let live      Don't you think it's time   Time to forgive   Leave the past behind   Live and let live
