I've been living
in this house here
since the day
that I was born
These walls have
seen me happy
but most of all
they've seen me torn
They've heard
the screaming matches
and made a family
fall apart
They've had
a front row seat
to the breaking
of my heart
And seven times
seventy times
I'll do what it takes
to make it right
I thought the pain
was here to stay
but forgiveness
made a way
Seven times
seventy times
there's healing
in the air tonight
I'm reaching out
to pull it down
I'm gonna wrap it
all around
I remember running
down the hallway
playing hide and seek
I didn't know that
I was searching
for someone
to notice me
I felt alone
and undiscovered
and old enough
to understand
Just when I'm supposed
to be learning
to love you
let me down again
And seven times
seventy times
I'll do what it takes
to make it right
I thought the pain
was here to stay
but forgiveness
made a way
Seven times
seventy times
there's healing
in the air tonight
I'm reaching out
to pull it down
I'm gonna wrap it
all around
I lost count of the ways
you let me down
but no matter
how many times
you weren't around
I'm alright now
God picked at my heart
and helped me through
and shined a light on
the one thing left to do
And that's forgive you
I.. forgive you
Seven times
seventy times
if that's the cost
I'll pay the price
Seven times
seventy times
I'll do what it takes
to make it right
I thought the pain
was here to stay
but forgiveness
made a way
Seven times
seventy times
there's healing
in this house tonight
I'm reaching out
to pull it down
I'm gonna wrap it
all around
Yeah I'm gonna
wrap it all around
I've been living
in this house here
since the day
that I was born
