Lyrics
Why?
I'm so full of love
Yet I'm sad every day
How can we keep on living this way?
Now we are in a war
People are dying every day
With a little love, it would all fade away
Can't we all be happy
The way it used to be?
Love one another
And let this world be free
Hippies are in the streets
They are learning how to roam
And the black folks are in the ghetto
And they're even burning their homes
But they are trying to get a message
For the whole world to see
How happy we all could be
If we all were free
So why can't we be happy
The way it used to be?
Love one another
And let this world be free
People are hating
More and more every day
Understanding is slowly getting further away
Now what's gonna happen
When it all comes to a head?
There'll be no world to live in
'Cause we'll all be dead
So why can't we be happy
The way it used to be?
Love one another
And let this world be free
Why? Why?
Why? Why?
Why? Why?
Wanna be happy, happy
Wanna be happy, happy
Why can't we be happy
The way it used to be?
Love one another
Let this world be free
Why can't we be happy
The way it used to be?
Love one another
Let this world be free
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Why can't we be happy
The way it used to be?
Love one another
Let this world be free
Why can't we be happy
The way it used to be?
Love one another
Let this world be free
Why can't we be happy
The way it used to be?
Love one another
Let this world be free
Why can't we be happy
The way it used to be?
Love one another
Let this world be free
