Look how the wind carries the seed |
|
See how the soil supplies what it needs |
|
The rain falls, the sun shines and a flower breaks free |
|
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 |
|
Well, my eyes saw colors their little hearts could not see |
|
They were playing together, why can't we |
|
Chorus: |
|
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 |
|
I had a dream about a lion and a lamb |
|
They were playing together and there was peace in the land |
|
And swords became plowshares 'cause there were no enemies |
|
And i woke up and wondered, god why can't we |
|
Repeat chorus |
