Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So, why should I believe
That everything will be alright?
That everything will be alright?
If only we were free to breathe
[Verse 2]
And why should I believe
That everything will be alright?
That everything will be alright?
Imagine how good we could be
[Verse 3]
We like to drink with our feet on the fire
We like to argue the meaning of life
Like brothers, we know how to fight
It's on our shoulders to set the world right
[Verse 4]
What's the difference if we disagree?
Is heaven above, is hell underneath?
Doesn't change the news on the streets
Doesn't bring us closer to peace
[Verse 5]
So, why should I believe
That everything will be alright?
That everything will be alright?
If only we were free to breathe
[Verse 6]
So, why should I believe
That everything will be alright?
That everything will be alright?
Imagine how good we could be
[Verse 7]
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa
[Verse 8]
What kind of father leaves his kids in the rain?
What kinda God would not explain?
If this life is all that we get
We better hope something good comes next
[Verse 9]
The world is changing, can you feel the tension?
If you're not angry, you must not be listening
World is changing, can you feel the tension?
If you're not angry, you must not be listening
