Living In Harmony

Why is there so much hate in the world today?
 Why does prejudice keep coming our way?
 Why can't we learn to live with each other?
 Why can't we become like sister and brother?

 Everyone's not going to be just like you and me,
 Learn to accept their ways and let it be.
 God didn't make us all the same way,
 He didn't want life to become boring from day to day.

 Live and let live should be our mode and creed,
 Love one another then our hearts won't ache or bleed.
 Oh what pain we cause each other from time to time,
 If only we could live in harmony,  then our lives would rhyme.
