Some days, forbearing your debts is how you signal your strength Other days, collecting your debts is how you signal your strength Some days are better lived as a saint Other days are better lived as a warrior Some days a man shall turn the other cheek Other days a man shall demand the other's cheek
The flower that blossoms in the bright beautiful sun Shall never forget The root that sank in the dull windy rain
To fight when strong is the way of the sadist To forgive when weak is the way of the coward To fight when weak is the way of the brave To forgive when strong is the highest of human virtues
For the weak collects what he is owed by fighting And the strong is owed even more when he forgives
This is a threat if you believe me weak This is a pardon if you believe me strong
