WHY SHOULDN'T WE?

We believe in things that we cannot see
Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we?
Hands that heal can set a chained man free.
Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we?

We believe in peace within every heart.
Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we?
Burning brightly, brightly in the dark.
Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we

So come on darling' feel your spirits rise.
Come on on children open up your eyes.
God is all around
Buddha's at the gate
Allah hears your prayers
It's not too late.

AND WE BELIEVE IN THINGS THAT WILL GIVE US HOPE
Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we?
Let your voice be heard, celebrate your vote.
Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we?

We believe in things that make us all the same
Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we?
Love belongs to all in deed an name
Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we?

AND WE BELIEVE IN THINGS THAT CAN'T BE DONE
Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we?
Lift up your heart, put down your gun.
Why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we?

WE BELIEVE IN THINGS
WE'RE TOLD WE CANNOT CHANGE
Why shouldn't we?
WE HAD HEROES ONCE, AND WE WILL AGAIN
Why shouldn't we?
Come one darlin'
Come on children
God is all around, Buddha's at the gate
Allah hear our prayers
It's not too late
Why shouldn't we?

Mary Chapin Carpenter


Why shouldn't' we believe in miracles? I think I'm living one.
