There’s so much hatred
In the world today
Love and understanding
Have all but gone away
Slowly but surely
We are nearing the day
When judgement will come
And that’s why I say

What we share in common
Outweighs what we don’t
I believe that we can
Some think that we won’t
Eventually find some common ground
To bring us together if we’re still around

Rational thinkers
Must take a stand
For sanity’s sake
They need to demand
That we come together
The way that God planned
As a human family
Of woman or man

What we share in common
Outweighs what we don’t
I believe that we can
Some think that we won’t
Eventually find some common ground
To bring us together if we’re still around

Say what you will
Call me paranoid
But the alternative
We need to avoid
There has to be a better way
For us to act towards each other today
Knowing God is in heaven
And He’s there to stay
Should be enough
And that’s why I say

What we share in common
Outweighs what we don’t
I believe that we can
Some think that we won’t
Eventually find some common ground
To bring us together if we’re still around

Isn’t it time
That the healing begin
And war and destruction
Be brought to an end
There’s so much suffering
Why should we pretend
That war is something
We need to defend
