How quickly we forget, exactly how it feels To be the one, with nothing at all So amazing, how fast, those memories steal From a heart, which no longer crawls
When one knows of the emptiness Has lived out the shame How can they not recall being penniless When mercy calls out their name
If you are the one who is crawling right now Hold this time, close, in your heart So you never forget, when you are better endowed The shame which it can impart
When you are no longer crawling, stand up tall Keep compassion instilled in your heart So those memories will never steal away at all From mercy, you will never part
