• We never realize
    Until we look back
    How much we have
    Or how much we lack

    We never realize
    Until we've begun
    That the thing that we're doing
    Shouldn't be done

    We never realize
    Until we're haunted by ghosts
    That we've only been seeing
    Things we wish to see most

    We never realize
    Until the persecuting is through
    That we've been doing exactly
    Things the despised often do

    We never realize
    Until it's too late
    The things we were doing
    Were done out of hate

    We'll never realize
    Until tomorrow is past
    That the things we knew yesterday
    We now know at last
