[Verse 1]
I'm so full of love yet I'm sad every day
How can we keep on livin' this way?
Now, we are in a war, people are dyin' every day
With a little love, it will all fade away
[Chorus 1]
Can't we all be happy, the way it used to be?
Love one another and let this world be free
[Verse 2]
Hippies in the streets, they're learnin' how to roam
And the Black folks are in the ghetto, they're even burnin' their homes
But they are tryin' to get a message for the whole world to see
How happy we all could be if we all were free
[Chorus 2]
So, why can't we be happy, the way it used to be?
Love one another and let this world be free
[Verse 3]
People are hatin' more and more every day
Understandin' is slowly gettin' farther away
Now, what's gonna happen when it all comes to a head?
There'll be no world to live in 'cause we'll all be dead
[Chorus 2]
So, why can't we be happy, the way it used to be?
Love one another and let this world be free
