Compassion Lyrics

You want more, and still more
Until you get more than you ever bargained for
Now its 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
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
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

Dying on your bed of pain
What will you have now?

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

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
