Why Can't We

[Verse 1]

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

[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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

Ooh, why can't we
