Lyrics
How good, how pleasant it is for us
To live in peace an' love
Peace an' love an' unity in all community

Because your best friend could be your enemy
Your enemy could be your best friend
Your best friend could be your enemy
Your enemy could be your better friend
If you're black an' white
Don't you fuss an' fight
Jah created the day an' the night
So let us all unitе

How good, how pleasant it is for us
To live in peacе an' love, and unity
In all community, in all community

If you're black or white
Don't you fuss an' fight
Jah Jah created the day an' the night
Let us all unite, don't fuss an' fight (No)
We should live as one, we should understand
That each an' everyone should
Be a better one

How good an' pleasant it is for us
To live in peace an' love
Peace an' love an' unity in all community
Your best friend-
