We do a pretty good job of throwing sticks and stones

But everyone's got a closet full of skeleton bones

No need to tear each other down

'Cause we're all standing here on common ground





Chorus:

If we could love one another

We could bring Heaven down out of the sky

If we could love one another

We could bring hate to its knees tonight

Wouldn't every future be bright

If we could love one another

Love one another right





We find it easy enough loving the latest trends

Take something that's dead and make it our closet friend

Imagine what this world could be

If we worked as hard at loving you and me





Repeat chorus





Bridge:

Don't let your anger get the best of you

When you're provoked you simply refuse

Don't waste your time with retribution

Why not try making a contribution

Reach down a hand to the tired and weak

Lift up a soul with the words you speak

Shake it up with a revolution - and set the world on fire.
