And they will call it life
And that ain’t right
We’re only people
Why can’t we live together?
We all gotta breathe the same air
Underneath the skin that we wear

A smile can change a face

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Hmmm
We’re only people
Why can’t we live together?
We all gotta breathe the same air
Underneath the skin that we wear
We’re only people
Why can’t we live together?
Why is it so hard to see?
A little bit of love is all we need
