about

Eckhart Tolle said to Oprah, "Forgiveness happens naturally as soon as you realize that the past cannot prevail against the power of Presence." In that light, I wrote this song and I want to share, "Live Forgive" with whoever receives it today in honor of Oprah.

Thank you Oprah. You have been a light, guide, mentor and inspiration in my life. I experienced the power of forgiveness by writing/recording this song as part of my healing process. Still I have days like today when I am struggling and need a reminder. I will take each moment as it comes and continue to grow to live my best life.

The Open album is now available on CDBaby, Itunes, and more links at www.shawnaray.com. Also check out a new song, "True You" coming soon, also inspired by and dedicated to Oprah.

lyrics

LIVE FORGIVE
© Shawna Ray ASCAP

I’ve talked myself in and out, wasted my heart on anger
You were gone before you left and I was drawn to all your drama
Got caught up in a twisted web and now it’s time to make amends
Because…
There’s no sense in bitterness and there’s no room in unforgiveness
I keep on hashing over it while energy is spent
Hurting me more, affecting you less
I will choose to live forgive

It all goes back to when it was, the barely legal incidents
How and why, the whereabouts and pain of losing innocence
It was not right, but I must let go. Healing tonight as I move on
Because…
There’s no sense in bitterness and there’s no room in unforgiveness
I keep on hashing over it while energy is spent
Hurting me more, affecting you less
I will choose to live forgive

From the depths of my soul I will pull out this root
From the depths of my soul I will pull out this root
I forgive you…
Will you forgive me too
There’s no sense in bitterness and there’s no room in unforgiveness
I keep on hashing over it while energy is spent
Hurting me more, affecting you less
I will choose to live forgive
I will choose to live forgive
I will choose to live
