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   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   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   And so will we all when death comes to take us home   And so will we all when death comes to take us home
