COMPASSION'S ROAD

I was lost in this city of concrete and steel

Always feeling like a frightened fool

Thinking that escape was my only hope

Until the fates delivered you

I was utterly affected by your pure view

Liberal innocence, and fire for life

Drug from the boundaries of my cage

You shed light by altering the night

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Are you supernatural

A vision of my fear

Some kind of sterling token

Offered up to keep me here

Every terror vanished

As fast as you appeared

Now this city summons me

Triumphant of my fears

With you I know

I know...

Compassion's road

~~*~~

Every creature of the darkness knew who you were

If they didn't, you made sure they would

Embracing them all like long lost friends

Desperate homeless and dejected thugs

The broken concrete was a yellow brick road

The graffiti was a work of art

The derelicts were forgotten children

And the corrupt were just fractured hearts

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
You transposed the wicked dark unknown

Took a skeptic out into the night

Introduced me to compassion's road

And sparked affection for the city life...
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Are you supernatural
A vision of my fear
Some kind of sterling token
Offered up to keep me here
Every terror vanished
As fast as you appeared
Now this city summons me
Triumphant of my fears
With you I know
I know...
Compassion's road
~~*~~

I can't leave....
Now I know....
Compassion's road
~~*~~
