Homelessness
Hate
Why can't we live together?
All the people in the world today
We're all brothers
We're all brothers
My song, call it a story, a statement to open up eyes
A vision, a dream, my prayer to multiply
The love of our nation, of our world, and of our people
No one is ever less than the other because we're equal
Adornin', explorin', and soarin' through this life
Amassin', surpassin', and then askin', "What is life?"
Life's a moment in time, it's the gift that you receive
Don't abuse it, misuse it, or construe it selfishly, you see?
People are people, you know we've got to live as one
The truth is from our youth, you know somebody has taught us wrong
To hate the other man because his skin is not like mine
It's the thoughts of a fool with real
Good vision but his mind is blind
Do we always have to hurt and kill in our confusion?
The picture in your mind, it's not real, it's an illusion
You're no better, I'm no better than the love that's in our hearts
If we can't live together then this world's gonna fall apart
Tell me why?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Ooh, why can't we live together?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Ooh, why can't we live together?
Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we live together?
The tension is growin' and flowin' much too fast
The fire burns higher and hot, how long will it last?
Can we stop it or pop it? You know, just bust that bubble
If we don't, then the lives of our children, they're in trouble
No smilin' or grinnin' because in hate nobody's winnin'
And love has ruled this world from day one from the beginnin'
Help me, please help me hide these tears that I cry
My brother's killin' my brother every day and every night
I moan and I groan, I toss and turn in my sleep
The bigots got to go and the strong must help the weak
Lift them up, push them on before their lives have come and gone
Today it might be them but even you can lose your home
Tell me why?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Ooh, why can't we live together?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Ooh, why can't we live together?
Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we live together?
Together
I know we can
Live in harmony, yeah
Oh, yeah
You and me
No more, no more, no more
Oh, all we want is a little peace in this world
No more, no more
Oh, all we want is a little peace in this world
No matter, no matter what color
Oh, you are still my brother
No matter, no matter what color
Oh, you are still my brother
Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we live together?
Life is just so precious, think about that when you spin your hand
The mind and the spirit and the soul of a man
Cannot be made, cannot be bought, the
Poor is over, it's already been bought
Take a stand for your woman and your children
For your mother and your father, your sister and your brother
Stop the hate, stop the killin', I know somebody's willin'
To stand up for what's right and fight for peaceful livin'
We got to fight to live together
Tell me why?
Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we live together?
Yeah
Oh, I wanna live in a world where there is peace
Oh, yeah
Why can't we live, why can't we live?
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, why can't we live, why can't we live?
Why can't we live?
Oh, why can't we live?
Oh, why can't we live?
Oh, why can't we live?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
