Coexist

I’d rather build bridges and tear down a wall Why do people hate what they don’t know Life’s too short not to coexist with all In a ‘Religious War’ the good only fall An oxymoron of thought so low I’d rather build bridges and tear down a wall The three main faiths answer Abraham’s call Christians and Muslims and Jews should show Life’s too short not to coexist with all We’re really all the same after the fall Than different, we’re more alike than we know I’d rather build bridges and tear down a wall Shel Silverstein showed us the best way of all “Hug ‘O War” is the only good way to go Life’s too short not to coexist with all If only we would heed the Apostle Paul Faith is the substance of things we don’t know I’d rather build bridges and tear down a wall Life’s to short not to coexist with all
