Love and Compassion Lyrics

I used to think love was a dying art
Compassion couldn't live within a crowded heart
I saw my freedom in a poor man's eyes
Hope like a light, will to survive
A sense of dignity to hold up high
These are the simple things that keep us all alive
And though the rich buy power for a time
One thing that money can't buy

Love and compassion, Only love and compassion
Give it to you, Give it to me
Love and compassion, Only love and compassion
That's what it takes

Give love
You're gonna feel love
Ooh, Feel love
You're gonna give love

One night when I was feelin' all alone
I saw a shadow walking in the danger zone
I knew that I would have to make a choice
Hunger in my heart, hunger in my spirit

We won't be free until we equalize
The price of power to the price of every life
And though I know it's gonna take some time
Someday we're all gonna find
Love and compassion, Only love and compassion
Give it to you, Give it to me
Love and compassion, Only love and compassion
That's what it takes to relate

Love and compassion, Only love and compassion
Give it to you, Give it to me
Love and compassion, Only love and compassion
That's what it takes

Give love
Ooh, Feel love
You're gonna feel love
You're feelin' love

Love and compassion, Love and compassion
Love and compassion, Love and compassion
Love and compassion, Only love and compassion
Give it to you, Give it to me
Love and compassion, Someday we're gonna find it
Oh when I was alone
And I reached out for more
I just opened my eyes
Love and compassion
I know it will take some time
But you know we're gonna make it come true
Love and compassion
All my love and compassion
Love and compassion
Love and compassion

All my love, All my love and compassion
Someday, someday we're gonna find it, realize it
Take some time to give
Love and compassion
Hope like a light and a will to survive

Love and compassion, Love and compassion
Love and compassion, Love and compassion
That's what it takes to relate
