If God is my Father and you are my brother Then why can’t we bother to love one another?

Why do we keep on acting the way we do? The way we treat each other it just breaks my heart in two.

Once we were happy, oh, yes, once in the garden But then a lie broke the stillness And our hearts began to harden.

And hoping to be wiser, man has reached too far, Sometimes I think that we’ve advanced, But then I look at where we are.

…and oh I cry…

Why do we argue? Why are there so many churches? With half of them empty, some represent a million dollar purchase,

What’s happened to the message given by our Lord, Take his gospel to the streets, And share our money with the poor?

We’ve got to learn to love, love is the greatest thing,

If God is my Father and you are my brother Then why can’t we bother to really reachout and love one another?
