Lyrics of 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 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
(compassion, compassion)
