Gustavo Santaolalla feat. La Santa Cecilia - The Book of Life (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

The Apology Song

Toro, I am humble
For tonight I understand
Your royal blood was never meant to decorate this sand
You've suffered great injustice
So have thousands before you
I offer an apology, and one long overdue
I am sorry
Toro I am sorry
Hear my song
And know I sing the truth
Although we were bred to fight
I reach for kindness in your heart tonight
And if you can forgive, and if you can forgive
Love can truly live
And if you can forgive, and if you can forgive
Love can truly live
Toro, I am frightened
But I'll use my final breath
To tell you that I'm sorry
Let us end this dance of death
Two centuries of agony
That to your heart we sent
Here are now with my amends
The senseless killing ends
I am sorry
Toro I am sorry
Hear my song
And know I sing the truth
Although we were bred to fight
I reach for kindness in your heart tonight
And if you can forgive, and if you can forgive
Love can truly live
And if you can forgive, and if you can forgive
Love can truly live
And if you can forgive, and if you can forgive
Love, love will truly live
