Compassion

You want more

And still more

Until you get more than you ever bargained for

Now it's plain

Clear as rain

I've seen your symptoms many times before

(Lying on your bed of pain)

(What will you have now?)

What are riches untold

In a life without compassion

For there's no winter as cold

As a life without compassion

There's no prescription that's sold

That can heal you like compassion

Well you tried

And you cried

And let your disappointment make you hard inside

You have doubt

You reach out

Still you're the only one you care about

(Hiding in your sack of woe)

(What do you need now?)

For there is nothing so sad

As a life without compassion

(Compassion)

And even love has turned bad

It was love without compassion

(Compassion)

And you don't need what you had

'Cause you did not have compassion

(Dying on your bed of pain)

(What will you have now?)

You'll get no judgment from me

I can only feel compassion

(Compassion)

And if that's what you need

I will give you my compassion

(Compassion)

Just don't forget about me

'Cause we all need some compassion

Open up your heart

So you can start to feel compassion

(Compassion)

Get down on your knees

Pray to heaven for compassion

(Compassion)

Yeah-yeah-eh-eh-eh, everybody needs compassion

(Compassion)

Compassion

(Compassion)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

(Compassion)

Compassion

If you want to be healed

(Compassion)

Then you know you got to feel compassion

(Compassion)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah
