I find Cause and Effect's lyrics very poignant right now

Like many of us I've been listening to many songs in the last week that I hadn't given much airplay previously. The verses and bridge of Cause and Effect struck me as being another very poignant and reflective track;

If had the chance to do it all again
I wouldn't change a thing, except my next of kin
There's something on the tip of my tongue
Got a taste for sin
If you stamp your passport full of regret
You have nothing to remember but a lot to forget
Leave no enemies, leave no debt, no!

If i could talk to myself back then right now
I'd say 'son you might wanna, stick around
Something amazing is about to go down'
If i could leave myself just one little note
One that husbands and fathers wrote
It say 'you need to be a superstar or grow up,
but not both

Don't let them say your paper's worth more than gold
I see a generation lay down before they get old
And getting endlessly sold

(You need compassion) for one another
(compassion) righter than wrong
that's what needs to be at the heart of every past
and future soul song
