When the weight of life crushes my will
And doubts like shadows my spirit chill
I see a world of deeper despair
Their burdens heavier than I can bear

And in that moment a flicker ignites
Empathy's warmth disperses the night
My own struggles fade a perspective unfolds
Compassion's embrace my spirit upholds

Compassion my armor my spirit takes flight
In a world filled with darkness I become the light
With every open heart every selfless deed
Compassion fuels my strength it's all a soul needs

Compassion my armor my spirit takes flight
In a world filled with darkness I become the light
With every open heart every selfless deed
Compassion fuels my strength it's all a soul

The wounds of the past begin to mend
With each act of kindness my spirit ascends
The harsh inner critic its voice starts to fade
In the soft light of compassion my foundation is laid

Let a ripple of kindness spread far and wide
Choose love as your compass let compassion abide
In a world seeking healing may our hearts lead the way
With each act of compassion darkness turns to day

Compassion my armor my spirit takes flight
In a world filled with darkness I become the light
With every open heart every selfless deed
Compassion fuels my strength it's all a soul needs
With arms open wide my spirit is freed

Compassion fuels my strength, it's all a soul needs
With arms open wide my spirit is freed
My spirit is freed
