Forgive Them

Roots reggae riddim with a laid‑back rocksteady pocket, male vocals, Warm analog bass line drives the groove, skanking guitars on the offbeat, roomy drums, Psychedelic shoegaze lead guitar swells and bends through dubby delays, widening in choruses with loose stacked harmonies, Spacey tape echoes bloom on key phrases, bridge opens into time-stretched, reverb-drenched guitar solo before dropping back to a tight, intimate final hook, shoegaze, dub, roots reggae

[Verse 1] They don't know What they carry in their hands Little storms Spilling over in the sand Every word Just a shadow of their fear Every hurt Is an echo in my ear [Chorus] So I forgive them Before they even say my name I release them Let the river wash the flame I forgive them All the poison All the blame I forgive them I forgive them just the same [Verse 2] Mama said "Child Your heart is not a stone" Let it bend Like the branches when they've grown See their eyes How they flicker How they run They are lost Like a child who missed the sun [Chorus] So I forgive them Before they even say my name I release them Let the river wash the flame I forgive them All the poison All the blame I forgive them I forgive them just the same [Bridge] Let it roll Let it roll right through me (hey) All the weight All the rage set free If I hold it It will hold me too So I bless them as I’m breaking through [Chorus] So I forgive them Before they even say my name I release them Let the river wash the flame I forgive them All the poison All the blame I forgive them I forgive them just the same
