Why Shouldn't We Lyrics - Carpenter Mary-chapin

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 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 and 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 that we cannot change 

Why shouldn't we 

We had heroes once, and we will again 

Why shouldn't we 

So come on darling 

Come on children 

God is all around, Buddha's at the gate 

Allah hears our prayers 

It's not too late 

Why shouldn't we 

Why shouldn't we 

Why shouldn't we 

Why shouldn't we 

Why shouldn't we
