Political platforms, religious denominations, economic standards, maintaining the status quo, glass ceilings, old boy networks,doing things the way things have always been done. In some ways may separate us one from another. It has been said that we are to love our neighbor as ourselves, and do unto others as we would them do unto us. Why don't we love?

Why don't we love?
********************************

Why are we searching
What are we ...
Hoping to find
Where will this lead us
And is this ...
Your hand in mine
Fools rush in
And dreamers dream
Of once upon a time

(Chorus)
Why ... don't we ....
Why don't we love
Why ... don't we ....
Why don't we love

I see you crying ...
And I know you hurt
Among the echo's of questions
Is a prayer,
Ever heard
No stone unturned
The die is cast
I'll just have to ask, again

Chorus)
Why ... don't we ....
Why don't we love
Why ... don't we ....
Why don't we love

A chance embrace
Is a sweet relief
A change of heart
Enlightened minds
You have to wonder
In the face of it all
Can we relate
Can we survive

(Chorus)
Why don't we ....
Why don't we love
Why don't we ....
Why don't we love


You said it was ...
You or him
Now is it us or them
Everyone's backed against the wall
Separate, segregate, negotiate
Make a dollar
Risk it all
But still ...
When it's people hating people
While music plays
Kingdoms fall

(Chorus)
Why don't we ....
Why don't we love
Why don't we ....
Why don't we love
