Analysis of Sorry God
God
When I reach the depths of my sorrow.
Can you forgive me all I have wronged.
God
When my eyes are red with tears.
Can you release me from all of my hatred.
God
When the darkness falls into a hole.
Can you love me then. Forgive me God. Love me then.
God
When I recall who I have been.
Can you forget all I have done terribly wrong. Forgive me
God
When my soul cries in realisation of the pain its caused you.
Can you believe in me once more.
