Compassion - Lucinda Williams

Have compassion for everyone you meet

Even if they don’t want it

What seems conceit is always a sign

Always a sign

Always a sign.

For those you encounter

Have compassion

Even if they don’t want it

What seems bad manners is always a sign

Always a sign

Always a sign.

Always a sign of things no ears have heard

Always a sign of things no eyes have seen

You do not know

What wars are going on

Down there where the spirit meets the bone

Down there where the spirit meets the bone

Down where the spirit meets the bone.

For everyone you listen to

Have compassion

Even if they don’t want it

What seems cynicism is always a sign

Always a sign

Always a sign.

Always a sign of things no ears have heard

Always a sign of things no eyes have seen

You do not know

What wars are going on

Down there where the spirit meets the bone

Down there where the spirit meets the bone

Down where the spirit meets the bone.

Down there where the spirit meets the bone

Down there where the spirit meets the bone

Down where the spirit meets the bone.
