Thou shalt not judge
is what you often repeat
But sometimes, just sometimes
Its tough to practice what you preach
And so you judge the traveller sitting right next to you
for no real fault of his,
Just because his belongings seem slightly askew...
Thou shalt not judge
is what you often repeat
But sometimes, just sometimes
Its tough to practice what you preach
And so you judge that friend who's now far far away
Yeah, the one who wasn't embarrassed to join you in singing songs out of pitch
Just because you weren't the first to know she's in love and getting hitched...
Thou shalt not judge
is what you often repeat
But sometimes, just sometimes
Its tough to practice what you preach
And so you judge a super woman colleague who's a real good Samaritan
For a cause greater than the two of you.
Just because she pinged in the middle of a Christie marathon...
Thou shalt not judge
is what you often repeat
But sometimes, just sometimes
Its tough to practice what you preach
And so you judge your little bro who you simply cannot do without
For something you've probably done many times too!
Just because he chose to celebrate his bday with a night out...
Thou shalt not judge
is what you often repeat
But sometimes, just sometimes
Its tough to practice what you preach
And so you judge your well meaning senior who's job it is to drive your project
For something that's just a part of who he is;
Just because his solution was something your logic asked to reject...
At times like these, know it isn't wise to set up a fight
When there's not much that crib chats and ice creams cannot set right :-)
And, thou shalt not judge is what you should often repeat...
Especially when it's tough to practice what you preach...
