Maybe it'll start with a song
One that we'll all sing along
The day must come before too long
Maybe we can all get along

Can't see how hate can make our lives great
Can't see how pain could cause any happiness
Can't see how fightin' can solve any problem
Can't see how shamin' makes you a better person

Some got more so that makes you feel like less
So we spend and dress and try to impress
But we lack compassion and we live with depression
when loving each other is our greatest religion

Maybe it'll start with a key
One which we can all agree
Life's too precious and time's too brief
Let's live in harmony

We distract ourselves so it don't hurt our souls too deep
With headlines of greed, corruption,e faithlessness; it's a wonder we can sleep
We know that this ain't real, just a twist upon good cheer
Take a look outside, don't buy into the fear

Can't see how hate can make our lives great
Can't see how pain could cause any happiness
Can't see how fightin' can solve any problem
Can't see how shamin' makes you a better person

Maybe it'll start with a song
One that we'll all sing along
The day must come before too long
Maybe we can all get along
