Smooth out the wrinkles of our troubled past

With honesty, transparency and will to change

Smooth out the wrinkles of my missteps, mistakes

With a will to change, forthrightness, taking responsibility

Smooth out the wrinkles of the hurt and pain I've caused

With me taking responsibility for my actions, owning my flaws and working to

Smooth out the wrinkles in our troubled past and present

For a better, brighter future
