Can You Forgive Me? Poem by Mark Heathcote

I'm compound with guilt
Like down trodden wheat
And yet it's you I've done wrong
Can you forgive me?
And lead me back home
Because without you
I'm quite cold and alone
Lost with no way to find myself
Back home, love, can you forgive me?
Love, can you lead me
Back home, love, there's a mother home
A convent with an eternal spring
Where every, heart does triumphantly sing.

Oh, I'm home
Back in the community, I belong…
I'm back home
I'm back home
I'm back home
Love can you forgive me?
Love can you lead me
Back home,
Like water to foam to mist heaven above
Love, can you take me back home with you.
Love can you forgive me?
Love can you lead me
Back home with you.
And let me rain with tears in your thunder.

Oh, I'm compound with guilt
Like down trodden wheat
And yet it's you I've done wrong
Can you forgive, forgive me?
