Lyrics
Our kids are taught they must fight to survive
To fear the Lord and thank God they?re alive
We teach them there?s only one path to truth
That they are one of the chosen few
Who will stand up and say we?re all one?
It?s something we have to do.
It?s got to be me it?s got to be you
It?s got to be me it?s got to be you
People hate us; we don?t know why
We can?t see past that American pride
We want the oil under their ground
But don?t want them moving into our town
Who?s going to honor all ways of life?
Who will let people just be?
It?s got to be you it?s got to be me
It?s got to be you it?s got to be me
We can live in harmony
Peace will come through you and me
We can live in harmony
Peace will come through you and me
The news man tells us what to believe
As violence and sex take over TV
More is better; that?s what?s said
As the ratings last night add up in their heads
Who?s gonna shout ?enough is enough!?
Who will step out of the blue?
It?s got to be me it?s got to be you
It?s got to be me it?s got to be you
The forest burns, the factory pollutes
The planet?s heatin? up and we deny the truth
The crossroad is here with life in our hands
We can end this world or save our land
Who will guide us out of this mess
Who?s gonna see us through?
It?s got to be me it?s got to be you
It?s got to be me it?s got to be you
We can live in harmony
Peace will come through you and me
We can live in harmony
Peace will come through you and me
