The Perfect Path

The Doctor called it the Perfect Path

The way the bullet tore right into your chest

Took away the air we both breathed

Ripped open the heart that I'm now grieving

And I need you to know how I'm missing you so

What a strange choice of words

The Perfect Path for something so absurd

I'm left searching for meaning

I search my heart and I need help to see it

And I need you to show me something better

On both sides of the gun

Show me somebody who has won

When the cycle gets repeated

Nothing's given that is needed

Is it beyond our grasp?

Show us the Perfect Path

Prophets and sages have walked that path

But can it twist and turn through the depths of such despair?

Pull me out of my darkest hour

I'm bathed in light and I'm bathed in power

And God has shown me something better

On both sides of the gun

Show me somebody who has won

When the cycle gets repeated

Nothing's given that is needed

Is it beyond our grasp?

Show us the Perfect Path

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

In the shade of the olive tree

Forgiveness creates a space where your enemies

Can become your family

And redemption comes for the other one

On both sides of the gun

Show me somebody who has won

If the cycle gets repeated

We're all hurting, we're all bleeding

Is it beyond our grasp? Show us the perfect path

Is it beyond our grasp? Show us the perfect path
