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.
