From the touch of good-bye
With the sun in his eyes
And the sound of his heart beats like thunder
Can a child understand
The weakness of a man
And the spell that his world puts him under
He finds his God is just human
He's gotta stand and be brave
How can he ever forgive him
For taking his innocence away
Gonna take a labor of love
To forgive and forget
Takes a labor of love
And all he can give
For as long as he lives
It's gonna take a labor of love
I see myself in your eyes
As I leave you here tonight
With all your dreams left unspoken
I can now understand the courage of a man
As I'm facing the promise I've broken
You see that I'm only human
Your hero has feet of clay
I hope some day you'll forgive me
For stealing your future this way
Gonna take a labor of love
To forgive and forget
Takes a labor of love
And all he can give
For as long as he lives
It's gonna take a labor of love
After I let him go
I smothered the pain deep inside
Now here I stand accused
Of walking in his shoes
I've kept his spirit alive - in me
