Compassionate by Kirt Lind Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Compassionate people feel the strain
Words that hurt the weak get absorbed
It lodges in their brain
And pushes out the sides of their skull

[Chorus 1]
Distress
Distress takes its toll

[Verse 2]
Compassionate hearts, they start to cry
Even surrounded by these
Sympathetic minds can't make their pain go away
Maybe that's the source

[Chorus 2]
Feel the pain
Multiply

[Refrain]
Ooh that's how it started
Started feelin' this way (coooooo)
Feelin' this way 'bout it (cooooooooo)
About it that's how
[Verse 3]
In our insulated world we know what's right
But outside it's hard to breathe
The wind carries the leaves a great distance
'Til they're landing at your door

[Chorus 3]
Request

[Verse 4]
Compassionate people feel the strain
They just can't ignore the pain
What you say to the weakest
You're saying to us all

[Refrain]
Ooh that's how it started
Started feelin' this way
Feelin' this way 'bout it
About it that's how
Ooh that's how it started
Started feelin' this way
Feelin' this way 'bout it
About it that's how
