Simple to see where we come from
Harder is where we are
That's the core of the treason
The promise is never the answer
Well, why do you need to know?
There ain't a rhyme or a reason
Try to stay in the season

Passion is feeling in motion
Compassion is standing still
This isn't just a vocation
Hearing is letting it happen
But to listen's a work of will
Beware of cheap imitations
Thankful for small revelations

Just as heavy the hammer
Hard is the harder stone
Harder still is the notion
Come here and tell me you love me
Or just leave my heart alone
Most of the will is the motion
Most of the rest is devotion
