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
And not enough love to go around
What a waste another day
Another 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
Why can't we just get along
Why can't we just get along
If loving one another's wrong
Why can't we just get along
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 yeah
Why can't we just get along
Why can't we just get along
Why can't we just get along
If loving one another's wrong
Why can't we just get along
Then how are we supposed to
Get close to each other
We gotta make that change yeah
The change yeah
