Have compassion for everyone
Even if they dont have what seems concede
Theres always a sign
Always a sign
Always a sign

For those who encounter
Have compassion
Even if they dont want it
What seems that nice?
Is always a sign
Always a sign
Always a sign

Always a sign of things with big efforts
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 there where the spirit meets the bone

For everyone you listen to
Have compassion
Even if they dont want it
Even if it seems cynicism
Is always a sign
Always a sign
Always a sign

Always a sign of tings 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

Compassion, by Lucinda Williams
