Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 can get it on
Maybe we can get along
Should be our destiny
And if you wanna rise up
(We still got the streak of love inside us)
We can make this hate stop
(Don't take all the shame)
Now don't you wanna rise up?
[Verse 2]
We been givin' hate a chance
We got all this love to give, you know
And the love will be running out for us
Can you feel the dreams of life?
We're hoping we can still survive
As the wind carries every dove away
[Verse 3]
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 killin' us?
Can't you see it's killin' us?
Can't you see it's killin' me?
Trigger-happy fantasy
So stand up and be (So strong now)
We can make this hate stop
Now don't you wanna rise up?
[Verse 4]
We been givin' hate a chance
We got all this love to give, you know
And the love will be runnin' out for us
Can you feel the dreams of life?
We're hopin' we can still survive
As the wind carries every dove away
[Verse 5]
The wind carries every dove away
The wind carries every dove away
Every dove away
[Verse 6]
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 is wrong?
We're not so different anyway
Words are in this song
Can't we stop the fighting?
[Verse 7]
'Cause we been giving hate a chance
(Don't give this hate a chance)
(We got all this love to give, you know)
We got all this love to give
(And the love will be running out for us)
I feel the love is gonna run for us
Can you feel the dreams of life?
We're hoping we can still survive
As the wind carries every dove away
[Verse 8]
Don't give this hate a chance
We got all this love to give, you know
That this dream's alive, we'll still survive
(Carries every dove away)
Until no more people have to cry
[Verse 9]
Don't give this hate a chance
The wind carries every dove away
