Why can't we be together 

Can't you love me, don't hate me 

I don't see why can't we live together 

Baby we can get it on 

Maybe we can get along 

Assure me, oh destiny 

There's a cold streak living inside us 

There's no rainbows, just bullets and bones


And if you wanna rise up 

We can make this hate stop 

Now, don't you wanna rise up? 


We've been giving hate a chance 

We got all this love to give, you know 

And my love will be running out for us 

Can't you feel that there's a life 

That hope that we can still survive 

As the wind carries every different way 


So why do we see these colours 

It's only skin deep, don't mean a thing 

So clear, I don't need this with or others


Can't you see its killing us 

Can't you see its killing us 

Can't you see its killing me 

Trigger happy fantasies 

So stand up and be so strong now 

Freedom is not so far away 

If you know you wanna rise up 

We can make this hate stop 

Now, don't you wanna rise up?


We've been giving hate a chance 

We got all this love to give you know 

And my love will be running out for us 

Can't you feel that there's a life 

That hope that we can still survive 

As the wind carries every different way 


The wind carries every different way 

The wind carries every different way

Every different way


Now you've been taking 

Our dignity for too long 

I want to save this certainty that we hold 

And who's right and who's wrong 

We're not so different anyway 

Words are in this song 

Can't we stop the fighting? 'cause 


We've been giving hate a chance 

We got all this love to give you know 

And my love will be running out for us 

Can't you feel that there's a life 

That hope that we can still survive 

As the wind carries every different way 


Don't give this hate a chance 

We got all this love to give, you know 

And this tree of life will still survive 

Until no more people have to cry


I say, don't give this hate a chance 

We got all this love to give, you know 

And this tree of life will still survive 

Until no more people have to cry


I say, don't give this hate a chance 

We got all this love to give, you know 

And this tree of life will still survive 

Until no more people have to cry
