To Know Pain lyrics

A life lived long, lives well

And touches the hearts of others

Be they men or animals close

Inhaling the good, exhaling the bad

To live long, to live justly

It is to know pain that comes calling

It is inseparable for the caring

And finds its way in from time to time

There are many pains to be felt

But none so severe as is loss

For it doesn't heal over and scar

It lingers near proving sharing

No matter how much it hurts

Or how attuned we have become

It always finds itself anew begun

Never far, never done, never gone

In age accumulates aching

Its physical and emotional claims

They take hold of us then daily

To live on victorious, is to know pain
