I used to think love was a dying art
Compa**ion 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
Chorus
Love and compa**ion
(only) love and compa**ion
Give it to you
Give it to me
Love and compa**ion
(only) love and compa**ion
That's what it takes
(give love...you're gonna feel love...
Ooo... 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 compa**ion
(onlv) love and compa**ion
Give it to you
Give it to me
Love and compa**ion
(only) love and compa**ion
That's what it takes to relate
Love and compa**ion
(only) love and compa**ion
Give it to you
Give it to me
(oniy) love und compa**ion
That's what it takes
(give love... ooo feel love... you're gonna
Feel love... if you give love)
Love und compa**ion
Love und compa**ion
Love und compa**ion
Love und compa**ion
Love und compa**ion
(only) love und compa**ion
Give it to you
Give it to me
Love and compa**ion
Someday we're gonna find it
Oh when i was alone
And i reached out for more
I just opened my eyes
Love und compa**ion
I know it will take some time
But you know we're gonna make it come true
Love and compa**ion
All my love and compa**ion
Love und compa**ion
Love und compa**ion
All my love, all my love und compa**ion
Someday, someday we're gonna find it, realize it
Take some time to give
Love und compa**ion
Hope iike a light, and a will to survive...
