Love And Compassion - Lyrics by Hall & Oates


Lyrics

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...you're 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 we're 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...
