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







Chorus







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...youre 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 compassion



(onlv) 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



(onIy) Love und compassion



That's what it takes



(give love... Ooo feel love... you're gonna



feel love... if you give love)







Love und compassion



Love und compassion



Love und compassion



Love und compassion



Love und compassion



(only) Love und compassion



Give it to you



Give it to me



Love and compassion



Someday were gonna find it







Oh when I was alone



And I reached out for more



I just opened my eyes



Love und 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 und compassion



Love und compassion







All my love, All my love und compassion



Someday, someday we're gonna find it, realize it



Take some time to give



Love und compassion



Hope Iike a light, and a will to survive...
