Why Can't We All Get Along - Mary Wilson

I sang my song with others

And it was all good

I rang the bells of life

And I stood

Sometimes sunshine

Sometimes in rain

Strange, sometimes

The one you love

Can bring so much pain

Finding words to say

Forgiveness can be hard

The question of today

Is «Why can’t we all just get along?'

(All get along together, together)

There’s no reason why we all can’t get along

(All get along together, together)

We’re foolish not to try

(Oh, why can’t we)

Why can’t we make this world so sweet?

(All gt along together, togethr)

Miseries don’t have to be

(Oh, why can’t we)

Life can be beautiful

(All get along together, together)

It starts with you and me

You and me

I had my share of quarrels

And parted from friends

When a bond is broken

Nobody wins

I look around and see

Families in pain

Father, mother, sister, brother

They don’t mention each other’s name

The world is on the edge (It's on the edge)

Blind and confused (Blind and confused)

We blame one another, oh yes

Like fools, we all stand aloof

Finding words to say

«I forgive»

That can be hard

The question of today

Is «Why can’t we all just get along together?»

(All get along together, together)

We got to find a way to get us all along

(All get along together, together)

That’s the issue of the day

Why can’t we all just get along?

(All get along together, together)

Let’s reach deep in our soul

(Oh, why can’t we)

We can right the wrong

(All get along together, together)

It’s all in our control

(Oh, why can’t we?)

We can stop the pain

We can stop the rain

We all stand again

For heaven’s sake

Look at all that’s at stake

We’ve all had our wakeup call now

It’s time to heal the universe

Why can’t we all get along together?

(All get along together, together)

Sing a song together

(All get along together, together)

We can stop the rain, we can stop the pain

(All get along together, together)

We have so much love to gain

(Oh, why can’t we)

Oh yeah, yeah, ow!

Mmm

(All get along together, together)

(Oh, why can’t we)

We have got to find a way

(All get along together, together)

We must find a way today

(Oh, why can’t we)

Why can’t we all get along?

(All get along together, together)

We must truly bare our souls

(Oh, why can’t we)

Why can’t we all get along

(All get along together, together)

Make peace a human goal

(Oh, why can’t we)

Why can’t we all just get along together?

(All get along together, together)

Sing a song together

(Oh, why can’t we)

Be in harmony together

(All get along together, together)

Be just one together
