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

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