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 And though the rich buy power for a time One thing that money can't buy
(only) Love and compassion (only) Love and compassion (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
(onlv) Love and compassion (only) Love and compassion That's what it takes to relate
(only) Love and compassion (onIy) Love und compassion (give love... Ooo feel love... you're gonna feel love... if you give love)
(only) Love und compassion Someday we're gonna find it
And I reached out for more I know it will take some time But you know we're gonna make it come true All my love and compassion
All my love, All my love und compassion Someday, someday we're gonna find it, realize it Hope Iike a light, and a will to survive... More from Hall & Oates
