Lyrics

If we could only tear down the walls that were built before us
We might shine some light into the dark
And see it break the ties that remind us
just how far apart we really are
Maybe his hair's too long
So what if her family's poor
Does that really matter?

If we could find a way to make it better every day
and maybe learn to live together
Some how we must believe
Life's too short, you see
They'll be peace and harmony
if we love each other now

Hungry people on the street that are angry
Feeling like nobody sees or cares
How many generations of mixed children
before they finally see that noone stares
Maybe his skin's too dark
So what if her mother's white
Does that really matter?

There will come a day when all these feelings go away
Then we all can live together
If we could only see how much better life could be
They'll be peace and harmony
if we love each other now

(solo)

There will come a day when all these feelings go away
Then we all can live together
Some how we must believe
Life's too short, you see
They'll be peace and harmony
if we love each other now
