| Look how the wind carries the sea
|
| And see how the soul supplies what it needs
|
| The rain falls, the sun shines and a flower breaks reed
|
| And it all works together, why can’t we
|
| And I have seen children at play in the park
|
| Skin shades of ivory, red, yellow and dark
|
| While my eyes saw colors their little hearts could not see
|
| They were playing together, why can’t we
|
| Why can’t we
|
| Why can’t we
|
| I can love you and you can love me
|
| Why can’t we
|
| Why can’t we
|
| Set our foolish pride free, just be and let be
|
| Why can’t we
|
| And I had a dream about a lion and a lamb
|
| They were laying together and there was peace in the land
|
| And so it became precious 'cause there were no enemies
|
| And I woke up and wondered, God why can’t we
|
| Why can’t we
|
| Why can’t we
|
| I can you love you and you can love me
|
| Why can’t we
|
| Why can’t we
|
| Set our foolish pride free, just be and let be
|
| Why can’t we
|
| Set our foolish pride free, just be and let be
|
| Why can’t we
|
| Oooooh, why can’t we |
