Torro, I am humble, for tonight I understand
Dm                   C              A#-5          A
Your royal blood was never meant to decorate this sand.
       A#M7           A*                 A#M7             A*
You've suffered great injustice, so have thousands before you

I offer an apology, and one long overdue

I'm sorry, Torro I am sorry
        FM7                       FM7
Hear my song, and know I sing the truth.
         A#-5
Although we were bred to fight,
            A
I reach for kindness in your heart tonight!

       Gm                     Asus4#5
And if you can forgive and if you can forgive,
A              Dm D
Love can truly live,
       Gm                     Asus4#5
And if you can forgive and if you can forgive,
A              Dm
