I think this is based on the bible quote 'Love your neighbour'. Person A has wronged or angered Person B. Person A asks for forgiveness. They tell Person B that if they don't forgive them, they need help from God ('compassion'). If they do, they are a better person for forgiving them. The rest is pretty self explaintory from a Christian point of view; we are all God's children. Sorry if that was confusing ;)
I really like your take on the song. More than a decade ago during the Jewish Atonement I sent a letter to a woman asking her to forgive me. I had said something cruel about her to others. To this day I have no clue if she forgave me (I hope she did), but I was able to forgive myself for being such a uncaring jerk. I try hard not to talk (bad) about anyone, but that came with age. There's always something good in every person providing you look hard enough (and wish to see it).
