Forgive Me Lord — текст песни (Gordon Lightfoot)

Make my world a better place to be
Remove these chains and set me free
Give my life one reason to begin
Forgive me Lord for I have sinned

Take my hand and lead me as you choose
It seems we ain`t got much to lose
Give this place one season without shame
Forgive me Lord I`ve sinned again

I been down on my luck, as a matter of fact
I`ve even been chaste
Drifting along, singing a song
For the whole human race
I been caught in the act, as a matter of fact
I`m even well known
Floating on by with a laugh and a sigh
On the road that leads home
I got no more time left to roam, if you love me

Take this world and build it as you please
With a little help from the likes of me
Keep it safe from harm and make it pure
Forgive the rich and save the poor

Like the dust on the wind I`ve been taken again by my foolish pride
Drifting along, singing a song, that`s how I get by
I been caught in the act, as a matter of fact I`ve even been chased
Floating on by with a laugh and a sigh for the whole human race
I got no more time left to waste, if you love me

Make my world a better place to be
Remove these chains and set me free
Give my face a different point of view
Forgive us Lord if we run to you

If you love me
Make my world a better place to be
Remove these chains and set me free
Give my life one reason to begin
Forgive me Lord for I have sinned
Give my life one reason to begin
Forgive me Lord for I have sinned
