Should We Forgive?

Is it right we should always forgive?
Let go of happenings from the past,
Move on, so in harmony we'll always live,
Bury ill feelings so relationships can last.

Let go of happenings from the past.
Forget the hurt so cruelly displayed,
Bury ill feelings so relationships can last -
Allow time for bad memories to fade.

FORGET the past so cruelly displayed?
Surely some friendships need to end.
Allow time for bad memories to fade?
Know below the surface time can never mend.

Surely some friendships need to end,
Moving on is the only way to heal.
Know below the surface time can never mend
If you hide the anger which you feel.

Moving on is the only way to heal,
So don't opt to always live a lie.
If you hide the anger which you feel
You'll be harbouring wounds until you die.

So don't opt to always live a lie,
If you want to live your life in peace.
You'll be harbouring wounds until you die,
Let go - allow your hurt to cease!

If you want to live your life in peace
Move on - so in truth you'll always live,
Let go - allow your hurt to cease!
Is it right we should always forgive?
