WHY CAN`T








WHY CAN`T?





Why Can`t…
        All the nations of the world live in peace?
        We need to save lives, therefore, we need peace.


Why Can`t…
        All the people be kind to one another?
        Not enemies, but be like a brother.


Why Can`t…
        We forgive people who have done us wrong?
        Why don`t we all try hard to get along.


Why Can`t…
        We greet everyone with a nice smile?
        We should all try it for a little while.


Why Can`t…
        We all pull together and stand strong?
        We`d then counteract just what was wrong.


Why Can`t…
        We hold out our hand in a friendly way?
        Hello and welcome is what we could say.


        Fighting bring wars, death, loss and, therefore, grief
        Don`t let our happiness be so brief.
