The best way for us all to get along
Is to stop thinking that we’re each right
And stop telling others that they’re wrong
And to stop looking for a fight

This isn’t a message that’s particularly new
But what’s different are these different times
It’s all of us that need to be rescued
Just look around at all the reasons why

We can get along if we make that choice
And take a much larger loving view
Stop drowning others out with angry voices
And let understanding and compassion through
Together is when we’re our most strong
And together is what we’re supposed to be
And the best way for us all to get along
Will always be all along permanently

We need to bring the dangerous barriers down
And we need to believe that needs to start
There’ll never be a more peaceful world around
Until we all find peace in our hearts

There’s certainly ways that we’re all different
There’s too much focus on being the same
A turn for the better needs to be our mission
Because there’s really no better way

We can get along if we make that choice
And take a much larger loving view
Stop drowning others out with angry voices
And let understanding and compassion through
Together is when we’re our most strong
And together is what we’re supposed to be
And the best way for us all to get along
Will always be all along permanently

I know we’re all stressed and sometimes worried
We can’t always feel unencumbered and free
But we need to start an effort to all get along
Now and all along permanently

We can get along if we make that choice
And take a much larger loving view
Stop drowning others out with angry voices
And let understanding and compassion through
Together is when we’re our most strong
And together is what we’re supposed to be
And the best way for us all to get along
Will always be all along permanently
