Compassion - Prince

Get it on

Right on

A zero point approaches

And the field around you drop

Thoughts become reality

And it feels like time has stopped

When all that’s on the radio

Is electromagnetic pop

Steady, your teeth are gnashing

Compassion

Get it on

Compassion

Right on

Love for the greater number

Freezes over and cools

And everyone around you acts

Like a bloody fool

No sanctity to the left of you

No righteousness to the right

The only thing that’s left in fashion

Whatever skin you’re in

We all need to be friends

All happy again

So much better than nothing

Everybody can win

With a little faith in man

Beginning of an end

The start of a brand new something

When ego, fear, and judgment

Become the rule of law

Watch the polar ice caps

Heat up, melt down, and thaw

When the greedy one forgets

That he’s the reason for it all

The only gold that’s so worth stashing

In the high-seated lawless no love can be found

Nature will rise against nature and get down

If you got compassion

Let’s get back in fashion

The new international anthem

Whatever skin you’re in

(Whatever skin you’re in)

We all need to be friends

(Black and white and yellow, we can be friends)

All happy again

It’s so much better than nothing
