The Price of Regret Songtext

von Vince Gill

Everyone knows the price of regret
Things in life we never forget
Haunted by what we've done wrong
Yearning for the pain to be gone
Some hide in a bottle and some die in vain
Some wave a Bible and some just go insane
Lay down your judgement or lay down your shame
We're all God's children and we all breathe the same

You're black and I'm white
You're blinded by sight
Close your eyes and tell me the color of my skin
If we let today
Just pass away
Without kindness and forgiveness, there's no light

Everyone's broken, oh, everyone's scarred
All the things we needed wind up in the yard
Brothers and sisters, I mean you no harm
Healing's waiting in each other's arms

You're black and I'm white
You're blinded by sight
Close your eyes and tell me the color of my skin
If we let today
Just pass away
Without kindness and forgiveness, there's no light

Everyone knows the price of regret
Things in life we never forget
