Why Can't We Be Happy |
| I’m so full of love yet I’m sad everyday |
| How can we keep on livin' this way? |
| Now, we are in a war, people dyin' everyday |
| With a little love, it’ll all fade away |
| Can’t we all be happy, the way it used to be? |
| Love one another and let this world be free |
| Hippies in the streets, they’re learnin' how to roam |
| And the Black folks are in the ghetto, they’re even burnin' their home |
| But they are tryin' to get a message for the whole world to see |
| How happy we all could be if we all were free |
| So, why can’t we be happy, the way it used to be? |
| Love one another and let this world be free |
| People are hatin' more and more everyday |
| Understandin' is gettin' slowly further away |
| Now, what’s gonna happen when it all comes to a head |
| There’ll be no world to live in, 'cause we’ll all be dead |
| So, why can’t we be happy, the way it used to be? |
| Love one another and let this world be free |
