Paula Cole – Universal Empathy lyrics
What the Universe needs right now is some mutual understanding
The good and gentle kindnesses in every day actions
In the best of ourselves lies a child full of hope
One who feels every sunset and tree, elephant and crow
This is the root of the dwelling place of every living soul
Connection!

All you white men, guarding your gates, know your privilege it comes
From the luck of the lottery, some bullshit genetic caste system
You had a mother, so why you gonna take her down?
Give us our equality, our choice, our bodies are our own
Connection!
Connection to our Universal Empathy

Oceans full of plastic killing those who cannot speak
Such an immoral/needless waste of rainforest biodiversity
The planet needs her oxygen, we people need her trees
This blindness is a murdering of every living being
Connection!

Feeling connection to our Universal Empathy
We send our brothers off to jails, to a system of deceit
Bail is based on skin color, the darker you are, the longer you're in
Then working for slave wages for corporate plantations
Profiteering from free labor, they want to build more prisons
While children go to foster care and families
Are broken
Connection!

Feeling Connection to our Universal Empathy
I want to get militant, I want to divide and scream
But I think on Dr. Martin Luther King's dream
I know that in every soul regardless of their skin
Or age or sex or identity lies the empathy within
Connection!
Feeling Connection to our Universal Empathy

Om, om, om, om, om
Relax, and breathe, and look within to your third eye
Relax, and breathe, and listen to your heartbeat
Heartbeat
Relax, and breathe, and look within to your third eye
Relax, and breathe, and listen to your heartbeat
Heartbeat
Connection!
Feeling connection to our Universal Empathy
Connection to Ourselves and to the Mother and Us All
Connection to our Universal Empathy
