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
