We Can Overcome
You like... having it your way
And I'm always doing things by mine
But we can work it out together
For the peace we're looking to find
It's true we've known trying times
Lord knows those that come our way
We could quit, the blaming games
Please listen to what I must say
We... Can... O-ver-come........
If we're willing to give our best try.
Let's work on what's left to be done
to live happily, peacefully, you and I
You can say what's on your mind
And I promise to listen attentatively
I'll set you aside some of my time
So we can talk to one another openly
I'm ready to do all of my share
Are you willing to do the same for me
If Yes, we're already... half there
Let's make this the way it should be
( Chorus )
If anyone, who's known of troubles
Could take in, this idea from me
Then learn love, even enough for rivals
What a wonderful world this all could be
No more passing judgments on each other
Can't we live by this sweet philosophy
To help anyone as if for your brother
Will someone help to sing this with me
( Chorus-Repeat )
