Forgiveness
[JOE, spoken]
I see him now
I see him now!
(sung)
What of
Joe Clay?
Is he such a villain?
Is he?
With no great breadth of experience
No great connections
Just grabbing at the nearest straw
Using what he had
And what do we think he should have done
With what he was given?
He's not a confidence man
He's an ordinary one
Doing what he can
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
I feel it in my spine
I can teach others now
Teach them what I know—
I can be useful now
With no great breadth of experience
But one great connection
Forgiveness
