COMPASSION

THE COLD IT COMES AS DARK AS THE NIGHT

THE COLD IT TAKES ALL OF OUR LIGHT

WHAT WE DON'T SEEK WE CHOOSE TO IGNORE

SOON WE'LL LEARN IT'S NOT JUST THE SLAVES THAT ARE POOR

YOU TELL ME WHAT WE DO, IS WHAT WE ARE

WELL FOR WHAT I AM, IT’S GONE TO FAR

I KNOW YOU CAN'T BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND

IT’S NOT ASKING FOR MUCH BUT JUST A HAND

THE WORLD WILL FALL, THE WORLD WILL CRY

LIKE THE TEARS OF A CHILD WHO WILL NEVER TRY

THERE’S JUST TOO MUCH OF EVERYTHING

LIKE TOO MANY PEOPLE WITH NOTHING TO BRING

THE WORLD POPULATION CONTINUES TO RISE

AS THE THIRD WORLD NATIONS CONTINUE TO DIE

THERE’S BENEFITS FOR THIS AND BENEFITS FOR THAT

BUT WHAT WE ALL GIVE WE EXPECT TO COME BACK

WAKE UP MY FRIEND AND SEE THE LIGHT

CAUSE THE HAVE-NOTS OUTNUMBER THE MEN WHO FEEL RIGHT

A CHANGE YOU CAN SENSE IS IN THE AIR

IT’S TIME TO MAKE THINGS EVEN AND FAIR

SUPPRESSION HAS A WAY OF PUTTING US DOWN

THE POWERS THAT SUPPRESS, YOU JUST NEED TO SURROUND

A VOICE SO SMALL CAN RISE UP AND BE HEARD

IF THE SOUL BEHIND IT EXPRESSES IT'S WORDS

POWER IS A THING FOR THE RICH AND ELITE

SOME WOULD BE BETTER OFF DEAD THEN SO DOWNBEAT

KEEP SHOUTING THE VOICES AND STATING YOUR VIEWS

IF THE POWERS IGNORE THEY'LL BE YESTERDAY’S NEWS

JUST GIVE THEM A CHANCE IT CAN'T BE NO WORSE

TO FORCE THE RICH TO LET LEAVE OF THEIR PURSE

THEY'LL SEE IN THEIR HEARTS THAT TO GIVE

IS THE MEANING OF LIFE AND FOR ALL TO LET LIVE
