Well we're all God's children And we've got to get along Yeah we're all God's children And we've got to get along Well we're all God's children And we've got to get along Yeah we're all God's children And we've got to get along I know tempers are rightly rising At the ledger of wrongs There's marching in the streets And there's singing protest songs I'd like to humbly suggest That whichever way you're leaning We stop giving capital letters To words without meaning Words like freedom and democracy National pride Socialism and Christianity And duties and rights If we grasp hold of one of these words We find it swollen with tears And the blood of so many Over so many years Though what these words truly mean Nobody can say We keep piling up ruin In their name just the same But if we could take the time to Properly define our terms Maybe we could stop killing and Being killed in turn Well we're all God's children And we've got to get along Yeah we're all God's children And we've got to get along Yeah we're all God's children And we've got to find a way To organise our shared life In the public domain I believe you are capable Of learning new things But you fear the exposure Uncertainty brings But if you could truly rest awhile In those everlasting arms Maybe you wouldn't have to keep your heart So goddamn hard Now so much of history is Beyond the pale cos If your only tool's a hammer You better pray for a nail And I'd like to live in harmony Yeah I'd like to get along But I can't let you take Her beloved firstborn son And I don't mind the father metaphor As long as it don't bother you if I like mother more And I read the scriptures I know that truth frees us And if you're counting heretics You best not forget Jesus Well we're all God's children And we've got to get along Yeah we're all God's children And we've got to get along Yeah we're all God's children And we've got to find a way To organise our shared life In the public domain There lives more true faith Said Tennyson I believe In honest doubt than in half of the creeds And I know your religion Gives you a sense of control Over an otherwise overwhelming Perceived threat to your soul But if you knew your tradition You wouldn't try to fight it You'd turn and turn it again Because everything's inside it Well we're all God's children And we've got to get along Yeah we're all God's children And we've got to get along Yeah we're all God's children And we've got to find a way To organise our shared life In the public domain
