Prince — Compassion

[Intro] Uh, get it on Right on [Verse 1] 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 and gnash [Refrain] Compassion Get it on Compassion Right on [Verse 2] When the 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 [Refrain] Compassion Get it on Compassion [Chorus] 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 men Beginning of an end The start of a brand new something [Verse 3] 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 stashin' [Refrain] Compassion Get it on Compassion Right on [Bridge] When the highest seat in office, no love can be found Nature will rise against nature and get down Ooh Ow Come on [Chorus] 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 [Verse 4] If you got compassion Let's get back in fashion The new international anthem [Chorus] 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 men Beginning of an end The start of a brand new something [Chorus] 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 Everybody, everybody can win with a little faith in men Beginning of the end to start up a brand new somethin' Ooh ooh, to start up a brand new somethin', yeah Whatever skin you're in
