(Don't) Give Hate A Chance

Why can't we be together?
Could you love me? Don't hate me
I don't see why can't we live together
Maybe we could get it on
Maybe we could get it on
Should be our destiny
There's a cold streak living inside us

There's no rainbows, just bullets and bombs
And if you want to rise up
We can make this hate stop
Now don't you want to rise up?

We been giving hate a chance
We got all this love to give, you know
And the love will be running out for us
Can you feel the dreams of life?
We're hoping we can still survive
As the wind carries every dove away

So why do we see these colors?
It's only skin deep, don't mean a thing
So clear, underneath this, we're all brothers
Can't you see it's killing us?
Can't you see it's killing us?
Can't you see it's killing me?
Trigger happy fantasy
So stand up and be so strong now

Freedom is not so far away
If you know you want to rise up
We can make this hate stop
Now don't you want to rise up?

We been giving hate a chance
We got all this love to give, you know
And the love will be running out for us
Can you feel the dreams of life?
We're hoping we can still survive
As the wind carries every dove away

The wind carries every dove away
The wind carries every dove away
Every dove away
Dove, dove, dove, dove, dove, dove, dove

Now you've been taking our dignity for too long
I want to save this sanctity that we hold
And who's right and who is wrong?
We're not so different anyway
Words are in this song
Can't we stop the fighting?

'Cause we been giving hate a chance
We got all this love to give, you know
We all have this love to give
Will be running out for us
I feel the love is gonna run for us
Can you feel the dreams of life?
We're hoping we can still survive
As the wind carries every dove away

Don't give this hate a chance
We got all this love to give, you know
That this dream's alive, we'll still survive
Until no more people have to cry

Don't give this hate a chance
We got all this love to give, you know
That this dream's alive, we'll still survive
Until no more people have to cry

Don't give this hate a chance
We got all this love to give, you know
That this dream's alive, we'll still survive
Until no more people have to cry
