A World That Can Get Along

Why can't we just get along?
Live lives of peace with no conflict.
Instead, we kill and impair.
Filling everyone's hearts with despair.

Why can't we just get along?
Talk things out, don't start fights.
Instead, we start the terror of war.
Is agreeing with each other that much of a chore?

Why can't we just get along?
Respect each others feelings and beliefs.
Instead, we spit in the face of difference.
We make rash decisions without inference.

Why can't we just get along?
Pass out hugs and love instead of bombs.
Instead, we target the innocent life.
Filling our lives with more worry and strife.

I think we can all get along,
And, arm in arm, sing a new song.
