Compassion

Five o'clock evening news
Pain and hunger from an easy view
What may seem far away
Pushing closer to you everyday

In a world that's waiting for a physical touch
It's gonna take a furious love

That's what we need, compassion
Someone is looking for compassion
A heart that will bleed for the least of these
Waiting outside your door, compassion
Don't you know everybody needs to live
More compassionately

Clever words, tender eyes
Always seemed enough to get us by
Do we care or pretend
We may never get the chance again
Now we've all got our reasons to just walk on by
But someone's got to stop and reach out

It's me and you, compassion
There should be no excuse, compassion
Maybe it's time we lay it on the line
Nobody else will do, compassion
Don't you know everybody needs to live
More compassionately

Compassion, it's a furious love
Compassion, that burns in me
Compassion, it won't let me rest
Compassion, won't let me be
Compassion, you see someone's dying
Compassion, for a physical touch
Compassion, I want to be like You, Lord
Compassion, I want to love enough

In a world that is waiting for a physical touch
It's gonna take a furious love, oh...

That's why we need compassion
Somebody's looking for compassion
A heart that will bleed for the least of these
Waiting outside your door, compassion
Don't you know everybody
Needs to give more compassion
Oh, everybody needs to live
More compassionately

Compassion, oh...
Hey, there should be no excuse, compassion
Surely it's time we lay it all on the line
Nobody else will do, compassion
Don't you know everybody
Needs to give more compassion
Oh, everybody needs to live
More compassionately
Oh, more compassionately
