[Chorus 1] 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 compas - sion [Verse 2] Well you tried and you cried Don’t let your disap - pointment make you hard inside You have doubt you reach out Still you’re the on - ly one you care about [Pre-Chorus 2] Hid - ing in your sack of woe What do you need now? [Chorus 2] 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 compas - sion [Pre-Chorus 3] Dy - ing on your bed of pain What will you have now? [Chorus 3] You’ll get no judgment from me I can on - ly 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 [Outro] Open up your heart So you can start to feel compassion Get down on your knees Pray to heaven for compassion Yeah yeah Everybody needs compas - sion / / / / / / / /
