Walk Softly lyrics

No man can walk this earth

And fair without pain, or grief

Even the most gifted in life

They too cannot escape it

What makes men as they are

Know regret has no favorites

Misery and pain spare none

And death comes to claim all

In the wailing of others woes

We feel ourselves profoundly

Compassion comes from knowing

Feelings intense are for us akin

To make sorrow thrive purposely

For self, for others with malice

Is a force much more destructive

As if there wasn't sufficient now

So if we all feel grief sincerely

Would it be better to walk softly

True might still can shed a tear

Knowing we all feel, and grieve
