Lyrics
Compassion - lyrics and music by Coco Love Alcorn
compassion — is what we need
compassion — gonna set us free
compassion — there’s a way to find
compassion — in your heart and mind
hey-ey-ey-ey-ey
we got a lot goin’ on in the world today
makin’ it hard to find the way
try’na do right but somethin’s wrong
feels like we’re all bein’ led along
CH
hey-ey-ey-ey-ey
you’re not ready to say that you’re givin’ up
but so little you do seems good enough
you're reachin’ in and you’re reach in’ out
n’ with your voice gettin’ ready to shout
CH
if you wanna be a teacher
teach with a mind that still learns
if you wanna be a preacher
preach with a heart that still yearns
if you wanna be a lover
love with a fire that still burns
and if you wanna be a leader
you gotta live in the world that still turns
hey-ey-ey-ey-ey
feels good
to lift it up when you’re feellin’ down
I once was lost but now I’m found
my brothers and sisters who all agree
say “I was blind but now I see”
CH - BR
you gotta live (live), live (live)
in the world that still turns
you gotta live (live), live (live)
in the world that still turns
