You don't know
You don't know
What it's like to steal
If you haven't stolen
You don't know
What it feels like to cry
If you haven't cried
You don't know
What it feels like to forgive
If you haven't been forgiven
You don't know
What it feels like to encourage
If you haven't been encouraged.
You don't know
What it feels like to die
If you never been reborn
You don't know
What it's like to live
Unless you appreciate
The life that died to give.
