Gift Of Acceptance Lyrics - Idan Raichel

Some believe it's rigt to say Jesus when you pray, 

Some believe Mahommed, Allah, or Buddah are the way. 

Instead of a God or pantheon of gods up in the sky, 

I'll honour your choices and you can honour mine. 

Whether you are red, black, yellow, brown or white, 

A man with a husband or a woman with a wife, 

We can debate till the end of time who's wrong and who is right, 

Or I can honour your choices and you can honour mine. 

--Chorus-- 

We all want the same things from life, 

We want peace, love and prosperity. 

But can we give up our need to be right? 

Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance. 

Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance. 

Some believe that God's a him and some say he's a her. Does God live here in our hearts or out in the universe? 

Ghandi was a Hindu, Martin Luther King a Christian, Regardless of religion they knew love was the mission. 

--Chorus-- 

We all want the same things from life, 

We want peace, love and prosperity. 

But can we give up our need to be right? 

Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance. 

Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance. 

We can debate to the end of time who's wrong and who is right, 

Or I can honour your choices and you can honour mine. 

They call you Israeli and they call me an American, 

I look at you and I don't see a country, I just see my friend, 

I pray we're in each other's lives for a long, long time Because I honour your choices and you honour mine. 

--Chorus-- 

We all want the same things from life, 

We want peace, love and prosperity. 

But can we give up our need to be right? 

Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance. 

Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance.
