Why Can’t We
The world has gone crazy it’s out of control Man on the tv is selling out his soul it’s a crying shame / Don’t have to be that way / I see a stop sign looking straight at me / Gotta turn around and show ‘em how to be free / There’s danger ahead that’s what the Good Book said / Somewhere along the way we’ve got to return / And embrace the things we’ve already learned / Why can’t we just love everybody / Why can’t we just love everybody Heaven is waiting this world could be a better place And we can change the human race through love Mama’s got a daughter that ain’t living right Running with the wrong crowd and staying out all night / So she locks the door don’t you come back no more / Black man white man it’s all the same to me / We all need to know we’re part of God’s family Don’t it make you wanna try Time to get on our knees / Somewhere along the way we’ve got to return / And embrace the things we’ve already learned / I know somewhere beyond the sky / A place where hate will not reside Please tell me / Why can’t we just love everybody Love can heal us it can make us one / Love is stronger it will overcome
