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
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
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
Set our foolish pride free
just be and let be
Why can't we, M-M-M-M
Why can't we
