Steve Rowland & The Family Dogg
Now when you climb into your bed tonight
And when you lock and bolt the door
Just think of those out in the cold and dark
'Cause there's not enough love to go 'round
And sympathy is what we need my friends
And sympathy is what we need my friends
'Cause there's not enough love to go 'round
No there's not enough love to go 'round
Now half the world hates the other half
And half the world has all the food
And half the world lies down and quietly starves
'Cause there's not enough love to go 'round
And sympathy is what we need my friends
And sympathy is what we need
And sympathy is what we need my friends
'Cause there's not enough love to go 'round
No there's not enough love to go 'round
And sympathy is what we need my friends
And sympathy is what we need
And sympathy is what we need my friends
'Cause there's not enough love to go 'round
No there's not enough love to go 'round

Overall, the song "Sympathy" is a powerful call to action for listeners to be more empathetic and understanding towards others. It speaks to the urgent need for love and kindness in the world, highlighting how the lack of these qualities can lead to stark inequalities and injustices.
