Yosemite Melody - The Joy of Compassion Lyrics

In a world that's often harsh where kindness can seem rare
There's a light that shines within us if we choose to show we care
Compassion is the key to a heart that's truly free
Through Buddha's ancient wisdom we learn how to simply be

In the joy of compassion our spirits start to sing
With every act of kindness we create a gentle spring
A world that's filled with love a place where hearts can mend
Through the teachings of the Buddha our compassion knows no end

With a smile or a hand we can lift a heavy load
Sharing warmth and understanding on this winding road
It's the simple quiet moments where our love begins to grow
Through the practice of compassion we find peace that we can show

In the joy of compassion our spirits start to sing
With every act of kindness we create a gentle spring
A world that's filled with love a place where hearts can mend
Through the teachings of the Buddha our compassion knows no end

In the stillness of our hearts we can feel the world's pain
Yet with each compassionate act we break through every chain
By giving of ourselves we find a deeper joy
In the teachings of the Buddha our true selves we employ

In the joy of compassion our spirits start to sing
With every act of kindness we create a gentle spring
A world that's filled with love a place where hearts can mend
Through the teachings of the Buddha our compassion knows no end
