We believe in things that we cannot see
|
Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we
|
Hands that heal can set a chained man free
|
Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we
|
|
We believe in peace within every heart
|
Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we
|
Burning brightly, brightly in the dark
|
Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we
|
|
So come on darling feel your spirits rise
|
Come on children open up your eyes
|
God is all around
|
Buddha's at the gate
|
Allah hears your prayers
|
It's not too late
|
|
And we believe in things that will give us hope
|
Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we
|
Let your voice be heard, celebrate your vote
|
Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we
|
|
We believe in things that make us all the same
|
Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we
|
Love belongs to all in deed and name
|
Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we
|
|
And we believe in things that can't be done
|
Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we
|
Lift up your heart, put down your gun
|
Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we
|
|
We believe in things
|
We're told that we cannot change
|
Why shouldn't we
|
We had heroes once, and we will again
|
Why shouldn't we
|
|
So come on darling
|
Come on children
|
God is all around, Buddha's at the gate
|
Allah hears our prayers
|
It's not too late
|
|
Why shouldn't we
|
Why shouldn't we
|
Why shouldn't we
|
Why shouldn't we
|
Why shouldn't we
|
