Compassion

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Lying on your bed of pain

What will you have now?

[Chorus 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Hiding in your sack of woe

What do you need now?

[Chorus 2]

For there is nothing so sad

As a life without compassion

And even love has turned bad

It was love without compassion

And you don't need what you had

'Cause you did not have compassion

[Pre-Chorus 3]

Dying on your bed of pain

What will you have now?

[Chorus 3]

You'll get no judgment from me

I can only feel compassion

And if that's what you need

I will give you my compassion

Just don't forget about me

'Cause we all need some compassion

[Outro]

Open up your heart

So you can start to feel compassion

Get down on your knees

Pray to heaven for compassion

Everybody needs compassion

If you want to be healed

Then you know you got to feel compassion
