Lyrics

A Song for Forgiveness
Verona Pentony Reflections from the Heart 2012

As I sit alone, I dream of home The White rose that grew by the scullery door
When voices were raised and tempers frayed Its petals blew to the floor
This perfect bloom seemed to fill the room
With a peace that was quite profound
With a brighter heart I would go and pick petals from the ground

Take the train to Forgiveness County
Everyone has a heartache to mend
Learning the lessons all of us must one day see
Making the enemy into your friend

Holding the white rose of beauty
Sharing the white rose of peace
Giving the flower of forgiveness
To find that sweet release

Seeing loved ones from a distance
Passing them without a word
Stop and reach out with loving hands
Change the past, change the future
Change the world

Take the train to forgiveness County
Everyone has a heartache to mend
Learning the lessons all of us must one day see
Making the enemy into your friend

Holding the white rose of beauty
Sharing the white rose of peace
Giving the flower of forgiveness
To fine that sweet release

On reaching out chosen destination
I know we will be free
From all corners of the earth
We will merge and live in harmony
In harmony

Wearing the white rose of beauty
Wearing the white rose of peace
Wearing the flower of forgiveness
To find that sweet release
