Lyrics

can't we get this thing together
can't we join our hearts and minds
you know love can live forever
transcend matter, space and time
can't we get this thing together
lord we're all meant to be free
but freedom ain't worth much
without love, peace and harmony

well I feel the tide is turning
and I know one of these days
a mighty flood is gonna come
and wash this all away

Lord our city it is burning
while the fiddle players play
and our rivers red are running
with the blood we shed each day

the me-roes we all idolize
all have feet of clay
the beliefs on which our system stands
can't stand the light of day

and all the money we've amassed
the riches we've attained
non of it will ever last
beyond this mortal plane

sometimes we can see the light
but mostly we are blind
the possessions over which we fight
are the cause of our demise
