Something tells me that we'll come out of this With a healing compassion or a scarring bitterness Don't revive painful times, let them rest Don't drag a net through the sea of forgetfulness The cut was deep, the blood was warm I can't deny what it's done But if we don't release the past We'll slap the face of the days to come There's a hand at the door refusing to leave Its pulse is throbbing, its heart on its sleeve It's a new tomorrow waiting to be received By somebody ready and willing to believe The cut was deep, the blood was warm I can't deny what it's done But if we don't release the past We'll slap the face of the days to come Remember this melody Don't ever let it go away Sing it to your heart Day after day after day The cut was deep, the blood was warm I can't deny what it's done But if we don't release the past We'll slap the face of the days to come
