Compassion

If a half-empty stomach makes you hangry
Imagine life for people on the street
If a neighbor's untamed yard can drive you crazy
Imagine seeing bombs break through their concrete
Image is something of importance
But only when you've got anything to prove
Well, the world just don't seem fair when all it's left you
Is little or nothing to lose

Live your life and have your fun
And share it with everyone you love
Raise your kids and raise your glass
For every single freedom that we have
But while we're looking for the next best thing to happen
Heaven pray we all find some compassion

All of those bodies walking signs across the pavement
Cryin' out for justice to prevail
It's not another traffic inconvenience
One day, we'll see it's history that we made
Could we let empathy repair what hatred breaks?

Live your life and have your fun
And share it with everyone you love
Raise your kids and raise your glass
For every single freedom that we have
While we're looking for the next best thing to happen
Heaven pray we all find some compassion

It's not always a big event
Time or money that we spent
Tryna make the world a better place
It's usually just a helping hand
An open mind, the will to stand
Those hard conversations with folks you thought you'd figured out
Yeah, that's what it's all about
That's what it's all about

Oh, live your life and have your fun
And share it with everyone you love
Raise your kids and raise your glass
For every single freedom that we have
Feel good when you latch on to that new catchphrase
Change your style, change the channel, change your name
But while we're looking for the next best thing to happen
Oh, Heaven pray we all find some compassion
Oh, Heaven pray we all find some compassion
