To Forgive (Or, Not Forgive... That Is The Question?)

lyrics

Who can forgive?
If you live,
Can you forgive?
Do I have the power,
To balance justice,
Sitting in my ivory tower,
Do I rule supreme,
Over another human being?

I do not know...
Is it a matter of rising above my ego,
Of letting go?
Or, am I saying I'm superior to you,
And, have acquired the superego...
To pardon you?

One wonders...
Should all repenting murders,
Be set free,
Should I insist,
All sorrowful rapists,
Be let go?
I don't know.

If you don't ask me,
To forgive you,
Well... that's easy to do.
But, if you plead,
Is it possible to concede,
For I can not see,
That I have authority.
I thought only One,
Could forgive a sin?

So, you can ask me again and again,
But, it's not something that can be undone,
By this human.

Sorry, 
Will you forgive me?
