As you laugh, someone cries
As you live, somebody dies
One will fall but another will rise
Someone loves, someone hates
And as you ascend into Heaven,
Others pass through Hell's gates

And let us not lose compassion
For those who have yet to be pardoned

May we not forget our fellow man
Mourn with those who mourn,
And rejoice with the joyous
May we not forget our past,
So if grace was ever given,
We would be the first to give it

And let us not lose compassion
For those who have yet to be pardoned
And I know, by the grace of God, I roam,
And I'll stand before Him naked and alone
And so will we all when death comes to take us home

The world is ours to take, so let's take it
If the world is man's, it is what he makes it

And let us not lose compassion
For those who have yet to be pardoned
And I know, by the grace of God, I roam,
And I'll stand before Him naked and alone
And so will we all when death comes to take us home
