We do a pretty good job of throwing sticks and stones But everyone's got a closet full of skeleton bones No need to tear each other down 'Cause we're all standing here on common ground Chorus: If we could love one another We could bring Heaven down out of the sky If we could love one another We could bring hate to its knees tonight Wouldn't every future be bright If we could love one another Love one another right We find it easy enough loving the latest trends Take something that's dead and make it our closet friend Imagine what this world could be If we worked as hard at loving you and me Repeat chorus Bridge: Don't let your anger get the best of you When you're provoked you simply refuse Don't waste your time with retribution Why not try making a contribution Reach down a hand to the tired and weak Lift up a soul with the words you speak Shake it up with a revolution - and set the world on fire
