Verse 1 Say if you were black and I was white And I came up to you and picked a fight Said I don't like difference you see Think the whole of the world should be like me What would that feel like? What would that feel like? What would that feel like? What would that feel like?
Verse 2 Say I had a story that you don't know And it's hard for me to tell and hard to show What it means to live inside my skin What it's like to be me here deep within What would that feel like? What would that feel like? What would that feel like? What would that feel like?
Chorus There's a whole lot of trouble in the world, you see Cos we all think we know how things should be If we listened to each other more carefully Could we learn to live in harmony?
Bridge We are all the same in our hearts This is where the change can start
Verse 3 You are you and I am me And we're weaving a beautiful tapestry Of the things we know and the things we see That's how we make a harmony What would that feel like? What would that feel like? What would that feel like? What would that feel like?
Chorus There's a whole lot of trouble in the world you see Cos we all think we know how things should be If we listened to each other more carefully Could we learn to live in harmony?
