Why can't we be together? Could you love me, don't hate me I don't see (why can't we live together) Maybe we could get it on, maybe we can get it along Should be our destiny There's a cold streak living inside us There's no rainbows just bullets and bombs If you want to rise up We can make this hate stop Now don't you want to rise up We've been giving hate a chance (we've got all this love you know) And the love will be running out for us Can you feel the dreams of life We're hopping we can still survive As the wind carries every dove away So why do we see these colors It's only skin deep, don't mean a thing So clear underneath this we're all brothers Can't you see it's killing us, can't you see it's killing us Can't you see it's killing me Trigger happy fantasy So stand up and be, so strong now Freedom is not so far away If you know you want to rise up We can make this hate stop Don't you want to rise up We've been giving hate a chance (We've got all this love you know) And the love will be running out for us Can you feel the dreams of life We're hopping we can still survive As the wind carries every dove away The wind, carries every dove away The wind, carries every dove away Every dove away Dove Dove Dove Dove Dove Dove Dove Now you've been taking our dignity for too long I want to save this sanctity that we hold And who's right and who's wrong We're not so different anyway Worlds are in this song Can't we stop fighting We've been giving hate a chance (We've got all this love you know) And the love will be running out for us Can you feel the veins of life We're hopping we can still survive As the wind carries every dove away Don't give this hate a chance, We've got all this love to give you know That this dreams alive, will still survive, Until no more people have to cry Don't give this hate a chance, we've got all this love to give you know That this dreams alive, will still survive, Until no more people have to cry And the love will be running out for us.
