Why can't we be (together)?
|
Can't you love me, don't hate me
|
I don't see (why can't we live together)
|
Maybe we could get it on (maybe we could get along)
|
Should be our destiny
|
There's a cold streak living (inside us)
|
There's no rainbows... just bullets and bombs
|
If you want to rise up
|
We can make this hate stop
|
Now don't you want to rise up
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
We've been giving hate a chance
|
(We've got all this love to give, you know)
|
And the love will be running out for us
|
Can you feel the dreams of life
|
We're hoping we can still survive
|
As the wind carries every dove away
|
|
So why do we see (these colours)
|
It's only skin deep, don't mean a thing
|
So clear (underneath this we're all brothers)
|
Can't you see it's killing us
|
(Can't you see it's killing us)
|
Can't you see it's killing me
|
Trigger happy fantasy
|
So stand up and be (so strong now)
|
Freedom is not so far away
|
If you know you want to rise up
|
We can make this hate stop
|
Now don't you want to rise up
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
(The wind carries every dove away, The wind carries every dove away, every dove away)
|
Dove, dove, dove, dove, dove, dove, dove
|
|
Now you've been taking our dignity for too long
|
I want to save this sanctity that we hold
|
And who's right and who's wrong
|
We're not so different anyway
|
Words are in this song
|
Can't we stop the fighting?
|
|
[Chorus/Outro]
|
Coz we've been giving hate a chance
|
Don't give this hate a chance
|
We've got all this love to give, you know
|
And the love will be running out for us (we¡¯ve got all this love to give)
|
(and that the love¡¯s still alive, survive)
|
Can you feel the dreams of life
|
We're hoping we can still survive
|
As the wind carries every dove away
|
Don't give this hate a chance (can¡¯t we stop the dove away)
|
We've got all this love to give, you know
|
That this dream's alive, will still survive (can¡¯t we stop the dove away)
|
Until no more people have to cry
|
Don't give this hate a chance (can¡¯t we stop the dove away)
|
We've got all this love to give (that¡¯s the wind carries every dove away)
|
That this dream's alive, we¡¯ll still survive
|
And the love will be running out for us
|
Until no more people have to cry
|
Don't give this hate a chance
|
We've got all this love to give, you know
|
That this dream's alive, we¡¯ll still survive
|
Until no more people have to cry
|
