lyrics
LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING
I see them standing in the sun at the borderline
Holding their heads up
Holding on to life
Following orders taken one by one
Both sides are waiting for the change to come
I hear their children learn to sing a prayerful song
They sing about the side their family’s always been standing on
Watching their perfect minds learn to fear and detach
Is like watching the Gulf of Mexico turn to black
Well, I dreamed the prophets of all religions through time
Looked into our world and on each other’s shoulders cried
They’re wondering why we keep changing their meaning
Yes, I’ve seen the prophets of all religions through time
Look into our world and on each other’s shoulders cry
Wondering why we keep fighting in the name of their teachings
I thought it always was
Love, love, love, love, love and understanding
Children know
Love, love, love, love, love and understanding
We are so beautiful
Love, love, love, love, love and understanding
Still have so far to go
Love, love, love, love, love and understanding
In the name of love
In the name of you and me
In the name of all those beautiful and happy families
I see them standing at the courthouse
Until their love is recognized
As it always has been in the eyes of the divine
I feel love in your love, do you feel love in my love?
I feel the joy in your joy
I see light in your eyes, do you see light in my eyes?
Teach me your dance
I teach you mine
We share some food together
We can share some time
The times is late, yes, it’s getting late
Better reach into your love light
Let your love light, let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine
Well, I dreamed the prophets of all religions through time
Looked into our world and on each other’s shoulders cried
They’re wondering why we keep changing their meaning
Yes, I’ve seen the prophets of all religions through time
Look into our world and on each other’s shoulders cry
Wondering why we keep fighting in the name of their teachings
I thought it always was
’Cause it always was
Love, love, love, love, love and understanding
Children know
Love, love, love, love, love and understanding
We are so beautiful
Love, love, love, love, love and understanding
Still have so far to go
Love, love, love, love, love and understanding
The day will come under the sun
When we will see another one
Walking towards us and we won’t ask
If that’s a Christian, Hindu, Muslim, or Jew
The day will come under the sun
When we will see another one
Walking towards us and we will ask
Is that my brother, sister, me, or you
Gay or straight
Either way, it’s great
Love and understanding
Love, love, love, love, love and understanding
Children know
Love, love, love, love, love and understanding
We are so beautiful
Love, love, love, love, love and understanding
Still have so far to go
Love, love, love, love, love and understanding
Like Baba Olatunji said
“One day we’re gonna look into the distance
And see someone walking towards us
And we won’t ask if they’re black or if they’re white
We’ll just ask, is that my brother or my sister?
All my relations.”
