Sisters In Arms

Sisters in Arms You don’t have to like me And respect, like trust is earned. Not everyone likes everyone Is something that i’ve learned You can talk behind my back If it makes you feel good Sneer at things i do and say While on your lips judging smile play But in my hardened shoes I’d like to see you walk a mile You’ve no idea the life i’ve lived Or the cuts my heart has felt No clue the hand life’s dealt To me these same things you could say And you would surely be right The difference is i don’t treat you As though you were beneath my sight I don’t laugh at you and say those things That make you cry at night Not righteous is my heart or soul I’ve made my own mistakes At times i’ve hit the gas When i should have hit the breaks But when i see the hurt and pain You’ve felt throughout your life My eyes tear up and my heart weeps To know of all that strife I don’t look down on you Or pretend i have the right to judge And when you need someone to talk I’ll give a gentle nudge But for now i’ll forgive I know you’re hurting too I won’t pretend to know the hand That life has dealt to you
