Gino Vannelli
Seventy Times Seven
[Verse 1]
This prison has no walls
This bondage has no chains
My memories have no mercy
There's no one left to blame
Wish I could force back the hands of time
And right every wrong
Grant me just this one last chance
Before it's gone, gone, gone, gone
[Pre-Chorus]
How could I be so blind as to doubt Your love?
And how can I go on living without Your love?
[Chorus]
Seventy times seven
Will You forgive me for all that I've done?
Seventy times seven
I'm so afraid of what I've become, ooh
[Verse 2]
For all the promises laid to waste
For all the seeds unsown
For all the justice I never faced
I must now atone
Is there a soul that can't be saved?
Is there a heart that has no hope?
Is there a peace that can still be made?
Please, say it's so
[Pre-Chorus]
How could I be so blind as to doubt Your love?
And how can I go on living without Your love?
[Chorus]
Seventy times seven
Will You forgive me for all that I've done?
Seventy times seven
I'm so afraid of what I've become
[Chorus]
Seventy times seven
Will you forgive all that I've done?
Seventy times seven
I'm so afraid of what I've become
[Bridge]
And if I should kneel before You
Would You lay Your hands on me
Or turn me away?
And even if I should tremble
Deep in my heart, I won't be afraid
[Pre-Chorus]
Seventy times seven
I won't be afraid
I won't be afraid
Seventy times seven
I won't be afraid, no, no, no
[Chorus]
Seventy times seven
Will You forgive me for all that I've done?
Seventy times seven
I'm so afraid of the man I've become
[Chorus]
Seventy times seven
Will You forgive all that I've done?
Seventy times seven
Your love can save me from what I've become
[Outro]
Seventy times seven
Seventy times seven
Seventy times seven
