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 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
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 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?
