Because I had loved so deeply
Because I had loved so long
God in His great compassion
Gave me the gift of song
Because I have loved so vainly
And sung with such faltering breath
Oh oh oh, the Master in
His infinite mercy

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 of riches are told
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
Don't 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 everybody needs compassion
(Compassion)
Compassion
(Compassion, compassion)
If you want to be healed
(Compassion)
Then you know you got to feel compassion

We all see, all those millions who bleed
Got no chance to succeed, and there's world full of
greed
Take your time, ask yourself for a rhyme
Share your number one time
What you'll get is a smile
with a sign of compassion, you lighten their pain
and no one can say your donation's in vain
see the sigh turning into a grin
in a time as the world gets united
open minds, sit together and talk
we align what the past devastated
our ears have learned how to listen
with a sign of compassion, you lighten their pain
and no one can say your donation's in vain
planet earth moves together as one
would you tell the world that the secret of freedom is
peace
would you strengthen your love with some piece of mind
and walk through open border lines
we all can prove, it's not just a dream
We all see, all those millions who bleed
got no chance to succeed, and there's world full of
greed
with a sign of compassion, you lighten their pain
and no one can say your donation's in vain

Get it on
Right on
A zero point approaches
And the field around you drop
Thoughts become reality
And it feels like time has stopped
When all that's on the radio
Is electromagnetic pop
Steady, your teeth are gnashin'
Compassion
Get it on
Compassion
Right on
Love for the greater number
Freezes over and cools
And everyone around you acts
Like a bloody fool
No sanctity to the left of you
No righteousness to the right
The only thing that's left in fashion
Compassion
Get it on
Compassion
Whatever skin you're in
We all need to be friends
All happy again
So much better than nothing
Everybody can win
With a little faith in man
Beginning of an end
Start up a brand new something
When ego, fear, and judgment
Become the rule of law
Watch the polar ice caps
Heat up, melt down, and thaw
When the greedy one forgets
That he's the reason for it all
The only gold that's so worth stashing
Compassion
Get it on, get it on
Compassion
Right on, right on
In the high-seated lawless no love can be found
Nature will rise against nature and get down
Whatever skin you're in
We all need to be friends
All happy again
It's so much better than nothing
Everybody can win
With a little faith in man
Beginning of an end
Start up a brand new something
If you got compassion
Let's get back in fashion
The new international anthem
Whatever skin you're in
We all need to be friends
All happy again
It's so much better than nothing
Everybody can win
With a little faith in man
Beginning of an end
And start up a brand new something
Whatever skin you're in
(Whatever skin you're in)
We all need to be friends
(Black and white and yellow, we can be friends)
All happy again
It's so much better than nothing
Everybody can win
With a little faith in man
Beginning of an end

This isn't culture, it's an industry,
living creatures, barely alive, chaines up in factories.
And you can tell yourself that you do enough to warrant a slip from time to time,
but your conscience knows better and you know it tastes wrong, so open your eyes.
Born into this mess, and they painted us a prettier picture,
we swallow everything we're fed, the food, the lies and the fiction.
But we don't have to live by history books, we can write and illustrate our own.
Just realize that every meal is a choice, and you only reap what you have shown.
And yet they call it culture, millions slaughtered by the day.
And it's easy to just not care when you're 1000 miles away.
But think twice next time it's on your plate;
environmental repercussions, a higher taste.
Born and raised in a fucking cage,
how can we keep making this mistake?
So many reasons, the list is so long.
All this cruelty in our lives, it just feels wrong.
There's a better way, so much more than just fashion.
A better diet for a more caring world, one word...Compassion.

You hear the calling of a foreign shore
Drop it all and search for more
You give it up for
What is she waiting for?
Oh let me know if you want to pray
After all the players pray
It gives you luck girl
We all need luck girl
You work it up it gives you lifeblood
You put me off and you say so
It's so polarized
As we fall out
You do your best to erase hope
I´m looking for a revelation
And you wont be calling my shots
Strings are broken oh yeah
Look at the way that we go astray
Every joy divides every word you say
You know what it means to be led astray
Still you're acting like you know a cleaner way
Alone into the field I don't want to go
There are so many things I don't want to know
The only sign of health in a mental way
Is knowing that we peak and fade away
Can't stop my fire
Hope and the praise on the other side
Compassion
Desire all the things that I tried to hide (so far)
You beat it up it gives your life hope
You put me on but you don't say so
It's so glamorized
As we fall back
You do your best to erase hope
But I'm so filled with satisfaction
Cause no one's calling my shot
No words are spoken oh yeah
Look at the way that we go astray
Every joy divides every word you say
You know what it means to be led astray
Still you're acting like you know a cleaner way
Alone into the field I don't want to go
There are so many things I don't want to know
The only sign of health in a mental way

(verse)
When he walks into the room
I have to wonder
what's behind those eyes of blue:
A skeleton or two?
When she walks into the door
I have to wonder what's in store
Her smile is painted thin
Now it's running down her chin
(chorus)
We go on in life ignoring
The pain before our eyes
The consequence is worth exploring
The wading of the tide
It's up to us to try--today
(verse 2)
People passing, their lives unfold
Stumbling under, heavy loads
Another grain of sand
Falling through your hand
When he walks into the room
I have to wonder
What's behind those eyes of blue:
A skeleton or two?
(chorus)
(outro tag)
Watching, Waiting, Contemplating
Should I do something
Or just let it go?
We go on in life
