Why Can't We Love Each Other

Mother and child
Silent tears
How our tender lay.

Broken souls
On a crowded street
No one looks their way.

The knife bleeds
The hunger and greed
What a price to pay.

Why can't we love each other
Like your mother, like your father
Like your sister, like your brother,
Like your baby
Like your baby
Like your mother, like your father
Like your sister, like your brother,
like your baby

Dressed in devotion
Hiding in prayer
Damned by the human need.

Victims and heroes
Sinners and saints
Mercy can't discriminate.

If we should die
Before we wake
I pray our souls be free.


Why can't we love each other
Like your mother, like your father
Like your sister, like your brother,
Like your baby
Like your baby
Like your mother, like your father
Like your sister, like your brother,
like your baby

But the burden of sorrow will be lifted
Tomorrow by the shower of forgotten light.


Why can't we love each other
Like your mother, like your father
Like your sister, like your brother,
Like your baby
Like your baby
Like your mother, like your father
Like your sister, like your brother,
like your baby
