about
A Call For Compassion
This song has been written to support the campaign to make Nashville, Tennessee an official Compassionate City through Karen Armstrong's Charter for Compassion international movement.
Our vision is to raise money to create a larger production of this song using multiple voices and a large choir (including children). A significant portion of the proceeds from this song and the larger production of the song will be given to individuals and organizations that exemplify compassion in action.
We hope you will support our dream by purchasing this version of the song and letting your friends know about it. If you have a little extra to donate towards the larger production, we would greatly appreciate it. To keep our PayPal fees to a minimum, please only donate up to $10 through this site.
Thank you for helping us bring our message of the power of compassion to the world.
Special thanks to Connye Florance, Kevin Madill and Kirby Shelstad for helping make this song come to life for us!
There’s a yearning – a place inside our hearts
The world keeps turning – seems it’s spinning us apart
There’s a feeling of love we all have to give
If we want to know peace – each day that we live
There’s a feeling – you can find down deep inside
When you share that feeling – our hearts beat side by side.
To the rhythm of hope and harmony
Walking hand in hand – together we’ll be
Come passionate people
To a compassionate place
Feel the Love of compassion
Peace in your heart it will make
There’s a knowing – when we lend a helping hand
To our brothers & sisters – we’ll come to understand
This hope that we share – can show us the way
To a new kind of world – starting today
Please come passionate people
To a compassionate place
Feel the Love of compassion
Peace in your heart it will make
Compassion – In your heart and mine
Don’t you believe it’s time
There is a yearning – deep inside our hearts
To come together – compassion is where it starts
Please come passionate people
To a compassionate place
Feel the Love of compassion
Peace in your heart it will make
Don’t you believe
It’s time to believe
We’ve come to believe
We believe it’s time
Don’t you believe it’s time
