Why do we live this life of frustration?

Why can't this world unite as one nation?

We could do it too if we wanted to

And live as brothers

All we'd have to do is to love

Why do we have to fight one another?

Why do we have to destroy each other?

We don't have to do what we don't want to

Let's stop the killing

Let peace be victor over pain

Why don't you see the light of salvation?

Why don't you see the joy and elation?

You could see it too if you wanted to

It's the light of Jesus

For when I found Him, I found the way, yeah

You could find it too if you wanted to

They ask me, "Why do you write such sad songs?"

And I answer, "It's the only way I have of showing the pain

The hate, the suffering and sorrow of this world, and how

Easy it would be to change it if we would only dare to try."

You could find it too if you wanted to

You could find it too if you wanted to

You could find it too if you wanted to

You could find it too if you wanted to

You could find it too if you wanted to

You could find it too if you wanted to

You could find it too if you wanted to
