Lyrics:

Verse 1

Our world is such a mess today,
It doesn't have to be this way.
Pain and sorrow everywhere,
Why does no one seem to care?

People strewn about the streets,
the strong refuse to help the weak.
People killed in aggravation,
What has happened to our Nation?

Chorus

Why can't we see ourselves as brothers,
Irrespective of our color.
All it takes is love and kindness
and a little colorblindness

Here my brother take may hand,
we'll spread love throughout the land.
We can change the world today,
you and I can lead the way.

Verse 2

We teach our children how to hate,
its not hard to see their fate.
We repeat the stereotypes,
until we all believe the hype.

Fear makes us distrust each other,
instead of love, we hate each other.
Acting out of ignorance,
none of this makes any sense.

Chorus

Why can't we see ourselves as brothers,
Irrespective of our color.
All it takes is love and kindness
and a little colorblindness

Here my sister take my hand,
we'll spread love throughout the land.
We can change the world today,
you and I can lead the way.

Bridge:

Hatred, fear, pain and sorrow
is what we have in store tomorrow.
Unless we stop this madness now,
take my hand, I'll show you how.

Laughter, love and harmony,
This is how our world should be.
We can make it start right now,
take my hand, I'll show you how.
