Even the worst of monsters
Deserve your compassion
We all have deadly desires
And harmful passions
I’m feeling old
counting the number of times I have fallen
And all the times you picked me up
Too many favours
Casting stones doesn’t make you smart
What about yourself? Let me see your heart
Just because your trials are less visible
It doesn't make them any less terrible
I’ve been told
Back when I was younger
One day you’ll understand
The true meaning of forgiving
Your neighbour
Before it’s too late
