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
