about

"Compassion" is a song near and dear to my heart...one that's been a mainstay of my live set for almost a decade now. In all that time, it's never gotten a proper studio treatment or release. But with the world turning upside down over these past few months, the time feels right to put this one out there.

If you've been struggling, if you've been afraid for loved ones, or battling feelings of self-doubt as you try to adjust to the 'new normal'...you're not alone.

Be good to each other. Be good to yourself.

Compassion may not be ALL we need to get through these times...but it sure won't hurt!

lyrics

A new day dawns,
With golden rays.
Stare in awe,
As your fears melt away.

Open mind,
Free heart.
Just the kind of light,
The dance needs to start.

So hear the song of the sky.
The sound of waves rolling through your mind.

Let yourself
Get lost in the energy.


Do you ever feel,
Like something is missing,
In your life?

Do you ever think,
That something is not right,
In these times?

Turns out all,
We needed was to have,
Compassion.
Compassion.

Love,
Knows no bounds,
Compassion.
Compassion.

I can't speak for all,
But I know I've done my,
Share of harm.

So how do we move on,
When every opinion,
Comes full-armed?

Turns out all,
We needed was to have,
Compassion.
Compassion.

Love,
Knows no bounds,
Compassion.
Compassion.
