about

“When I have forgiven myself and remembered Who I am, I will bless everyone and everything I see.”
A Course in Miracles

lyrics

We´re not dead but we act like zombies, our eyes are open but we don´t see
We live in a world where the blind are leading the blind
Me I try to find out who I am and love my neighbour the best I can
But I admit, sometimes I slip and fall behind

The little boy inside me wants to go berserk
He´s been abandoned, he´s been hurt
I forgive myself, I forgive myself, I forgive myself
I try to stay present, I try to be cool
Don´t act on his anger, don´t act like a fool
I forgive myself, I forgive myself, I forgive myself

It´s not the dark, it´s the light that scares us, when love is calling we run away
Pain´s so familiar, we can´t get enough
What would happen if we all knew, “I hurt myself when I hurt you”
´cause what I see, is only me, it´s my own stuff

If I´m scared and frightened, if doubt comes up
I know it´s a memory, that I can stop
I forgive myself, I forgive myself, I forgive myself
I try to remember, to keep in mind
That problems are blessings there to be unwind
I forgive myself, I forgive myself, I forgive myself

We think we know, that we´ve got all the answers, we do believe our thoughts are real
But maybe one day we´ll wake up and understand
And to strangers we say “hello”, hearts will be open and love´s gonna flow
´round the world, to be heard, love will expand

We´ll be laying all our grudges down
When the message of love goes from town to town
We forgive ourselves, we forgive ourselves, we forgive ourselves
And the enemy we used to hate
Is now our saviour, we mustn´t wait
To forgive ourselves, to forgive ourselves, to forgive ourselves

To strangers we say “hello”, our hearts will be open and love will flow
Around the world, there to be heard, by everyone

But I know it has to start with me
And what I have to do to experience peace
So I forgive myself, I forgive myself, I forgive myself

Things that I have done, things that I have said, I forgive myself
Things I didn´t do, things I didn´t say, I forgive myself
Things that I have done, things that I have said, I forgive myself
Things I didn´t do, things I didn´t say, I forgive myself

”To listen to Frank’s music and his amazing lyrics, is a blessing beyond words.
The clarity and beauty is stunning. His music takes you on a miraculous journey
through the clouds of fear and doubt and into the precious light of surrender.”
