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
