Have pity on the young

When you’re young and have no secure place

When you don’t know who you are or who you’ll be.

Suffering a great loss is hard to face.

The pain of loss is grievous to embrace.

You look around but no solutions see.

When you’re young and have no secure place

If you feel so low beware the base

The good will show your mercy for no fee

Suffering a great loss is hard to face.

Life is hard and pain gives us distaste

But discipline is needed and is free

When you are young and have no secure space

For sorrow and its friends we feel distaste.

Yet we must mourn, the sages all agree

Suffering a great loss is hard to face

Have pity on the young and do not flee

They need our help our aid for we can see

When you are young and have no secure space

Suffering a great loss is hard to face
