MISUNDERSTOOD
Forrest Frank's song 'Uploaded' addresses the pain of hurtful words and the struggle to forgive. It acknowledges how past trauma can affect present relationships, but points to Jesus' example on the cross, where He forgave His persecutors despite immense suffering. The song encourages listeners to extend that same forgiveness to others, emphasizing that we are all part of one family. It also suggests that healing can begin with a simple call to a friend. The message is rooted in the Christian call to forgive as we have been forgiven by God.
One, two, three
Sometimes words
Hit you in the chest
Sting you like a bee
And rob you of your rest
And Heaven knows sometimes
People try to mean well
But trauma from their past
Got 'em stuck inside of Hell
Well, it's okay if you feel misunderstood
There's a Man who did as well when they nailed Him to wood
And even through all the pain
Still, He forgave them, mm
So I can forgive somebody too (Mm)
Sometimes words (Sometimes words)
Can cut so deep (Cut so deep)
It's hard to be kind
When anger's all you've seen
The shadow of home can
Stretch long through the years
It covers up the sunshine
Even when the sky is clear
'Cause it's okay if you feel misunderstood
There's a Man who did as well when they nailed Him to wood
And even through all the pain
Still, He forgave them
So I can forgive somebody too (Yeah)
I can forgive somebody too (Come on)
Well, sometimes two friends are just one call away
Years full of hurt could be gone in a day
We're all part of one family
So, who am I to cut down the tree?
'Cause it's okay if you feel misunderstood
There's a Man who did as well when they nailed Him to wood
And even through all the pain
Still, He forgave them
So I can forgive somebody too
I can forgive somebody too (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I can forgive somebody too
'Cause the good Lord first forgave me and you
Ooh
