Life is too short to hold a grudge
When one or the other just won't budge
Maybe something wrong was said or done
Was it an event caused by someone?
Mistakes are made, we're human that way
Tomorrow will be another day
Forgive and forget and let it pass
It's not worth it to harass
It's not worth it to lose a family member or friend
Over something that you won't let end
You are the one who built the wall
It's only you who can make that call
Forgiveness comes straight from the heart
Those walls you built will then fall apart
Isn't it better to be in touch
With those people who mean so much
Nobody has to be right
There's no reason to feel contrite
A different point of view may be
Of what it is that you both see
Breathe in and breathe out, and let it go
Release the grudge that claims your soul
