Love & Compassion Lyrics - Hall & Oates

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...
