Why are we looking down
On our sisters and brothers?
Isn't love all that we got?
Don't we know everyone's
Got a father and mother?
The day we know we're all the same
Together we can make that change

Look around there are

Too many of us crying
Not enough love to go around
What a waste of a day
A good one dying
But I know that the world will change
The day we know we're all the same

Why can’t we just get along?
If loving one another's wrong
Then how are we supposed to
Get close to each other?
We gotta make that change, yeah
Why can’t we just get along?

What a waste it would be

To deny somebody
Of a chance to be theirselves
What a waste it would be

If we hurt for nothing?
But I know that the world can change
The day we know we're all the same

Why can’t we just get along?
If loving one another's wrong
Then how are we supposed to
Get close to each other?
We gotta make that change, yeah

I know we could break apart
We don’t have to go that way
Not today

Why can’t we just get along?
If loving one another's wrong
Then how are we supposed to
Get close to each other?
We gotta make that change, yeah
The change, yeah
