|
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, |
|
And 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. |
