The sun again will rise
Giving love and light
Like in years before 
To village fields of grass
To cities made of glass 
It touches all the world 

Yet, humanity sings the song
Of generations gone by
Are we free? 
Are we home? 
Are we there yet?
And if not, 
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? 

And all I want to express
All I want to express
Compassion is
Compassion is
Compassion is
Compassion is
Progress 

Learn to build the bridge 
Learn to build the bridge 

And still we're waging wars
And still we're building walls 
And still we're trying to buy happiness
From crowded shopping malls 

If you can taste the pollution
That's consuming the skies 
If you can put down your wallet 
And open your eyes 

We're not free
We're not home
We're not there yet, no
We're not free
We're not home
We're not there 

And all I want to express
All I want to express
Compassion is
Compassion is
Compassion is
Compassion is
Progress 

Learn to build the bridge 
Learn to build the bridge 

We need more than coexistence 
We need more than tolerance 
Cuz all forms of division
Just breed ignorance 
We need respect and we need justice 
For those who've done no wrong
We need heads, hands, and hearts 
Wide open 
To accept the love that's been there
All along, all along
Love has been here all along 

And all I want to express
All I want to express
Compassion is
Compassion is
Compassion is
Compassion is
Progress
