George Michael - To Be Forgiven Lyrics
I'm going down
Won't you help me
Save me from myself
I hear the sound of a memory
Maybe time will tell
Suddenly my life is like a river
Taking me places i don't want to go
But like all good men who swim too well
It takes all that i have just to cry for help
Then that voice in my head
Tells me no
I'm going down
Won't you help me
Save me from myself
Maybe
Who can tell?
Let me live my life beside the river
Take me to places where a child can grow
And then
Maybe the boy inside will forsake me
Maybe
The child in me
Will just let me go
I'm going down
The cold, cold water is rushing in
I'm going down
And i would beg to be forgiven
If i knew my sin

Beautiful song in Bossa Nova rhythm and text associations, water, cycles, death, birth.
An angel's voice. No a star, only a super star. Forever with us. The best star in the sky. FOREVER GEORGE IN OUR EARTH.
George Michael é um poeta
A melhor música do álbum Older
This song changed my life.
I had a serious drug problem when
i heard it for the first time. No friends, homeless and with my spirit completly broken. I can't thank you enough Sir George Michael. You saved me, RIP❤
Those who put thumbs down on every George song...trust me you have no taste in music.
One of my best buys in 1996 this album in CASSETTE 😁😘😘😘😘😘😘😘💜💜💜💜❤❤❤❤love u always George Michael 💕💞
Bossa Nova. Brazilian rhythm.
couldn't save you from yourself George, please forgive us... my heart will always be with you when I first heard your "Last Christmas" in 1993 as a 6 year old girl... ❤️
4:49 to fade....
I can live without China or Southeast Asia or the Middle East but, I can’t live without the US, UK, Japan and Korea..... This song is simply one of the many reasons..
I played this song over and over again. Every time I got dumped. I cried and cried. I depended on it for comfort. Rest In Peace George
RIP George...what a voice for a generation...why did you leave the world too soon...you'll never be replaced....see you heaven...
Very nice song. His voice is so smooth!
The king of smooth soul music. Enough said.
My fav song... I was crazy... I was listening many time in a day when I was in college.. After 25 yrs I'm listening this again.. It's heart touching.. Superb... My old memories connected with older album. Thanks for George..god bless you... Stay healthy.. Take care
greatest song writer ever

20.5.19😢💓😇
George Michael enriches my life beyond measure, and will do until the end of my days. The depths of his soul are there for all to hear. Just beautiful.
The most beautiful and sexy voice and body
I MISS YOU!
That instrumental from 3:00 - 3:37 is just to die for 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Absolutely. Bitter sweet 😢😂
A very inspered song, notice the unusual chord changes. This should have been included on his MTV Unplugged.
I Really Hope George Prayed the Sinners Pray before he went for Judgement.
I Liked him but i know he had a lot of Demons in his Closet.
No more than me though , so I'm not Judging.
Goodbye George
George will always be remembered. Unlike some artists.
just admire the production...............thats coming from a Audio Engineer
I could listen to this song over and over again and feel different each time.....a masterpiece
Джордж мы тебя любим!
I would beg to be forgiven
Escuchen esta canción está hermosa de George Michael
It's still hard to believe he's gone but what a musical legacy he has left us with. This track has a dream-like almost ethereal quality to it, it is truly beautiful. His music will live on long after we're gone, rest in peace George.
Γιώργο Σ'αγαπαω!!!
Masterpiece ❤️
Oh my God! My heart just melted when I heard your sweet voice.❤
I think of GM every day . Love you 😍 my Darling
Well Said
Truly an amazing voice and is truly a missed talent. God bless him 🙏🏻
love and miss you always
amazing George! love you too much
Dam George....miss you my brother.. but Thanks for making me feel never alone thru your music..
This song is about the uncertainty of death. It's about Anselmo's journey dying from AIDS. He's helpless, wasting away and it's all moving so fast. He's crying for help, but it's too late. "Take me to a place where a child can grow." He wants another chance to correct the actions that sealed his fate. "save me" he says throughout the song. He concludes the song with "cold water" rushing in, life leaving his body and he would beg to be forgiven if he knew his sin. He has nothing to atone for because all he did was live his life and that couldn't be "sinful" right?
Deep song. Miss you, George.
This song is a unbelivabale Masterpiece ! Why not everybody understand this ...:( . 2 years Dead the Legend ...
one of his best songs...
As músicas deste álbum são maravilhosas. E a voz, ah, a voz... Viva George Michael.
Such beauty. I always feel transported to a beautiful place whilst listening to this track because of the arrangement of the music but incredibly powerful/sad lyrics.
The intro is the same as Porcelina of the vast ocean of Smashing Pumpkins, same sound like be in water. And also to mention the name of the song To Be Forgiven it's like To Forgive just some track before Porcelina...This came out in '96 and the Smashing Pumpkins awarded album was released in '95. Nice to see some inspiration of my favorite band. Stay cool!
"Take me to places where a child can grow, then maybe, maybe, the boy inside will forsake me, maybe, the child in me, will just let me go..." - These lyrics are so bitter sweet. It's about growing up, and letting go of the person you were, knowing that you have to be an adult to move forward in your life.
It is not..it is about enormous sadness and desperation he experienced when he lost the loved one..unable of being saved by anybody yet crying for help..
Very relaxing
Tim Buckley - Blue Melody
Troppo Bravo 👍👍👍
Capolavoro
perfection
Brilliant brilliant piece, as the music sways between despair and hope. Brilliant & beautiful
so so sad,he's crying for help from God,he's struggling with his sexuality, I would beg to be forgiven if I knew I had sined.the boy inside just wouldn't let him fully go.only God could save him.im going down.im going down.so sad we love you George, God heard your cry,I know all your good out weight your bad.you were truly a good man.God love you.begging to be forgiving.so much pain I can feel it coming from your song.love you forever my brother
Norma Turner writing this album he was struggling with depression after he’s partner died
He is with god
Is the sing really about that? Sounds like it omg
Yes forgive this forgive that no one is perfect,in fact there is plenty to forgive.
sto sprofondando giù
non mi aiuterai
salvami da me stesso
sento la melodia di un ricordo
forse il tempo lo dirà
improvvisamente la mia vita è come un fiume
che mi porta in posti dove non voglio andare
ma come tutti buoni uomini che nuotano troppo bene
si prende tutto quello che ho al grido di aiuto
poi quella voce nella mia testa
mi dice no
sto sprofondando giù
non mi aiuterai
salvami da me stesso
mi guardo intorno per una fantasia
forse
chi può dirlo
lasciami vivere la mia vita vicino al fiume
portami nei posti dove i bambini possono crescere
e poi
forse il ragazzo dentro di me può abbandonarmi
forse
il bambino in me
mi lascerà andare
sto sprofondando giù
la fredda fredda acqua mi sta rincorrendo
sto sprofondando giù
implorerai di essere perdonato
se conoscessi il mio peccato
Not a day goes by that i dont listen to his songs and it will be this way til my end of time😌
I am with you. I listen to his music every day. My puppy even knows it is George Michael singing!
I also listen every day. Its September 26, 2019.
Robert Acquarulo
Robert, it never ceases to amaze me how I will listen to one of his songs and find myself discovering a new gem.
I go for a drive just so I can listen to him on my own. Most nights before sleeping. I always will.
@M M He even managed to touch an animal's heart,what a beautiful soul he was 😭💔💔
🇦🇲🙏🇦🇲
George Michael’s death was so tragic, the sadness I felt for George was exactly how I felt when the beautiful princess Diana died. Having everything in the world doesn’t mean anything if you don’t have love. That’s what they desperately wanted. They were beautiful people inside and out , RIP.
ABSOLUTELY
You music lives forever. Miss u George Michael RIP. You are amazing star that will shine forever. Miss you.
True, George had all the money and Fame one could ever imagine ,yet all he ever wanted was to be loved and return that love
You are sooooooo right
I don't understand why there is thumbs down on any of his songs. He has got beautiful music. I will miss you. R.I.P. my friend.
We know the truth...they're ignorant
Or just don't understand true raw talent!😁😁😁
@Shininglight Joi Actually those dislikers are tone deaf 😠😩
This song from Older makes me wanna rest in the arms of my loved one.
The whole world miss you ever so much...RIP.George...
Beautiful and touching song. George, Always and forever in our hearts. So sad he is not here with us anymore...😢 its devastating. RIP George. You were amazing.
Esta vez el rio te llevo al cielo....simplemente para mi ..el mas grande
Джордж лучший, потому что ЕДИНСТВЕННЫЙ. Большая потеря для всех. RIP Джордж, мы помним тебя
Good song and nice metaphores: "...cold, cold water is rushing in"
Janne Salonen Suddenly my life is like a river....taking me to places I've never been.
If I knew myself...save me. Save me.....oh the pain...the depth of despair. ...we were always here for you my love....you chose to go so we try and accept this but it's sill not sinking in.😢😢😢
🎶💕🕊️
It's true I turned to YouTube ONLY just because of Sir George Michael. Listening to his songs brings happiness in my life. Very Very beautiful man with soulful voice attack directly to one's heart and then stayed there forever. George Michael deserves loyal fan. He was very right when he said that "I do have the most loyal fans in the history of pop music." Surely he deserves this after producing such timeless pieces of music. I think he is the only Best British Music Artist Britain has ever produced. I listen to other artists, but I am extremely sorry he is EXCEPTIONAL. A die hard and loyal fan of Sir George Michael from Karachi, Pakistan.
Never a day without listening.His is my teacher with his words
@Robert Acquarulo 😭💔
I totally agree Mohammad ❤
Mohammad Sadiq too bad George couldn't read this ! He definitely was the BEST
Timeless album ... not even a GM fan
Leonardo Di Stefano v
The soundtrack of my life!
Such a brilliant man. Huge fan. Even back in the bad boy Wham! days. Would have loved to meet him or see him in concert. Your music inspires and brings joy to me everyday. RIP George. ❤️
мой любимочка Джордж
I will love his music, kindness, and his natural and honest way to create.
only JESUS CHRiST can " FORGiVE " us for our " SiN "
TO BE FORGiVEN by George Michael
I'm going down
Won't you help me
Won't you help me now
Save me
Save me
Save me
from myself
I hear the sound
of a memory
Maybe
Maybe
Maybe
time will tell
Suddenly my life is like a river
Taking me places
I don't want to go
But like all good men who swim too well
It takes all that I have just to cry for help
Then that voice in my head
Tells me no
I'm going down
Won't you help me
Won't you help me now
Save me
Save me
Save me
from myself
I look around
for a fantasy
Maybe
Who can tell ?
Let me live my life beside the river
the river
Take me to places
where a child can grow
And then
Maybe
Maybe
the boy inside will forsake me
Maybe
The child in me
Will just
let me go ........
I'm going down
The cold, cold water is rushing in
I'm going down
And I would beg to be forgiven
If i knew my sin
If i knew my sin ........
Save Me Save Me
Save Me Save Me
Save Me Save Me
Save Me Save Me
im going down
im going down
im going down
im going down
Caucazhin Man big love for that
One of my favourites of George's it's so soothing and just a beautiful song.
Perfection respect RIP
1yr today Dec. 25th....RIP. These slow smooth bossa-nova style songs are what made me love George Michael for the artist he was.
An original interpretation of "Fastlove" https://youtu.be/UJS3H5G5pZY
Rest in paradise George Michel
I love this songxx
So sad you’ve gone mate x
Letra en Español:
Me hundo
¿podrías ayudarme?
sálvame de mí mismo
Oigo el sonido de un recuerdo
quizás el tiempo lo dirá
de repente mi vida es como un rio
que me lleva a lugares a los que no quiero ir
pero como a todos los hombres buenos
que nadan demasiado bien
pedir ayuda a gritos me cuesta todo lo que tengo
entonces una voz en mi cabeza
me dice que no
Me hundo
¿podrías ayudarme?
sálvame de mí mismo
Busco una fantasía
quizás
¿quién sabe?
déjame vivir mi vida junto al rio
llévame a lugares donde pueda crecer un niño
y entonces puede que
el niño que llevo dentro me abandone
quizás
ese niño dentro de mí
me dejé marchar sin más
Me hundo
el agua fría, muy fría irrumpe con fuerza
Me hundo
y suplicaría ser perdonado
si tan sólo conociera mi pecado.
Gracias.
Muchas gracias por la traducción. Sin lugar a dudas George Michael era un gran compositor.
Such a genius and what a voice 😊
un cantante brutal y con una sensibilidad especial...todos sus temas me encantan...pero mi favorito es este to be forgiven
I like this song.
