Mary Chapin Carpenter - Why Shouldn't We lyrics

We believe in things that we cannot see Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we Hands that heal can set a chained man free Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we We believe in peace within every heart Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we Burning brightly, brightly in the dark Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we So come on darling feel your spirits rise Come on children open up your eyes God is all around Buddha's at the gate Allah hears your prayers It's not too late And we believe in things that will give us hope Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we Let your voice be heard, celebrate your vote Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we We believe in things that make us all the same Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we Love belongs to all in deed and name Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we And we believe in things that can't be done Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we Lift up your heart, put down your gun Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we We believe in things We're told that we cannot change Why shouldn't we We had heroes once, and we will again Why shouldn't we So come on darling Come on children God is all around, Buddha's at the gate Allah hears our prayers It's not too late Why shouldn't we Why shouldn't we Why shouldn't we Why shouldn't we Why shouldn't we
