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
That made a family fall apart
They've had a front row seat
To the breaking of my heart

7 times, 70 times
I'll do what it takes to make it right
I thought the pain was here to stay
But forgiveness made a way

7 times, 70 times
There's healing in the air tonight
I'm reaching up to pull it down
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 doubt again

7 times, 70 times
I'll do what it takes to make it right
I thought the pain was here to stay
But forgiveness made a way

7 times, 70 times
There's healing in the air tonight
I'm reaching up to pull it down
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 all right now

God picked up 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

7 times, 70 times
If that's the cost I'll pay the price

7 times, 70 times
I'll do what it takes to make it right
I thought the pain was here to stay
But forgiveness made a way

7 times, 70 times
There's healing in this house tonight
I'm reaching up to pull it down
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
