To Live I Must Forgive and Move On

I've decided to live, even if the results aren't wonderful
There is nothing to be gained by dying, except finality
I've tried to fully forgive all of the dreams unfulfilled
My nation and ethnic background added up to my culture
I've not committed crimes, but I long to have an amnesty
For stupid things that I've done, falsehoods I've instilled
While I accept the world's judgment for anything I've done
I ask that no one place my own punishments upon my son
No one needs to pay for the mistakes I've made but me
If I am a failure, if I am stupid, no one else should pay
If I am left with mistakes unforgiven, I accept that
Because in honesty, I also know that life has a way
For me to finally be redeemed
