Why can't we be together 
Can't you love me, don't hate me 
I don't see why can't we live together 
Baby we can get it on 
Maybe we can get along 
Assure me, oh destiny 
There's a cold streak living inside us 
There's no rainbows, just bullets and bones 

And if you wanna rise up 
We can make this hate stop 
Now, don't you wanna rise up? 

We've been giving hate a chance 
We got all this love to give, you know 
And my love will be running out for us 
Can't you feel that there's a life 
That hope that we can still survive 
As the wind carries every different way 

So why do we see these colours 
It's only skin deep, don't mean a thing 
So clear, I don't need this with or others 

Can't you see its killing us 
Can't you see its killing us 
Can't you see its killing me 
Trigger happy fantasies 
So stand up and be so strong now 
Freedom is not so far away 
If you know you wanna rise up 
We can make this hate stop 
Now, don't you wanna rise up? 

We've been giving hate a chance 
We got all this love to give you know 
And my love will be running out for us 
Can't you feel that there's a life 
That hope that we can still survive 
As the wind carries every different way 

The wind carries every different way 
The wind carries every different way 
Every different way 

Now you've been taking 
Our dignity for too long 
I want to save this certainty that we hold 
And who's right and who's wrong 
We're not so different anyway 
Words are in this song 
Can't we stop the fighting? 'cause 

We've been giving hate a chance 
We got all this love to give you know 
And my love will be running out for us 
Can't you feel that there's a life 
That hope that we can still survive 
As the wind carries every different way 

Don't give this hate a chance 
We got all this love to give, you know 
And this tree of life will still survive 
Until no more people have to cry 

I say, don't give this hate a chance 
We got all this love to give, you know 
And this tree of life will still survive 
Until no more people have to cry 

I say, don't give this hate a chance 
We got all this love to give, you know 
And this tree of life will still survive 
Until no more people have to cry
