"Why Can't We All Get Along" lyrics - MARY WILSON

I sang my song with others
And it was all good
I rang the bells of life
And I stood
Sometimes sunshine
Sometimes in rain
Strange, sometimes
The one you love
Can bring so much pain

[Pre-Chorus:]
Finding words to say
Forgiveness can be hard
The question of today
Is "Why can't we all just get along?'

[Chorus:]
(All get along together, together)
There's no reason why we all can't get along
(All get along together, together)
We're foolish not to try
(Oh, why can't we)
Why can't we make this world so sweet?
(All get along together, together)
Miseries don't have to be
(Oh, why can't we)
Life can be beautiful
(All get along together, together)
It starts with you and me
You and me

I had my share of quarrels
And parted from friends
When a bond is broken
Nobody wins
I look around and see
Families in pain
Father, mother, sister, brother
They don't mention each other's name
The world is on the edge (It's on the edge)
Blind and confused (Blind and confused)
We blame one another, oh yes
Like fools, we all stand aloof

[Pre-Chorus:]
Finding words to say
"I forgive"
That can be hard
The question of today
Is "Why can't we all just get along together?"

[Chorus:]
(All get along together, together)
We got to find a way to get us all along
(All get along together, together)
That's the issue of the day
Why can't we all just get along?
(All get along together, together)
Let's reach deep in our soul
(Oh, why can't we)
We can right the wrong
(All get along together, together)
It's all in our control
(Oh, why can't we?)

[Bridge:]
We can stop the pain
We can stop the rain
We all stand again
For heaven's sake
Look at all that's at stake
We've all had our wakeup call now
It's time to heal the universe

[Chorus:]
Why can't we all get along together?
(All get along together, together)
Sing a song together
(All get along together, together)
We can stop the rain, we can stop the pain
(All get along together, together)
We have so much love to gain
(Oh, why can't we)
Oh yeah, yeah, ow! Mmm
(All get along together, together)
(Oh, why can't we)
We have got to find a way
(All get along together, together)
We must find a way today
(Oh, why can't we)
Why can't we all get along?
(All get along together, together)
We must truly bare our souls
(Oh, why can't we)
Why can't we all get along
(All get along together, together)
Make peace a human goal
(Oh, why can't we)
Why can't we all just get along together?
(All get along together, together)
Sing a song together
(Oh, why can't we)
Be in harmony together
(All get along together, together)
Be just one together
