Lyrics
[Verse 1] Can we forget the foolishness, just for tonight? Can we forget the hatred, step into the light? Can we set it all down, hold each other tight? [Chorus] ‘Cause everybody knows we can’t fight hate with more hatred, Everybody knows we can’t win love with fear, Everybody knows we can’t cure pain with vengeance, Everybody knows we won’t find truth if we’re insincere. [Verse 2] Can we forgive the drama, give each other grace? Can we release the dogma, let it find its place? Can we heal the trauma, start a new embrace? [Chorus] ‘Cause everybody knows we can’t beat ire with ire, Everybody knows we can’t lift chains with chains, Everybody knows we can’t find peace with anger, Everybody knows we won’t heal wounds with blame. [Verse 3] Can we silence the noise, just one quiet night? Can we look past our faults, give up the fight? Can we let it go, step into the light? [Chorus] ’Cause everybody knows we can’t crush fear with more fear, Everybody knows we can’t make joy from lies, Everybody knows that the answer’s in kindness, Everybody knows we’ll fall if we never rise. [Outro] Yeah, everybody knows… but does anyone care? Everybody talks, but is anyone there? Everybody’s waiting, but will anyone dare? Everybody knows… but only love can repair. -- V2: [Intro] Can we forget idiots tonight, and just dance Can we forget bigots, alright, and just prance Can we just let it go, find peace by chance Everybody knows, the weight of this stance [Verse 1] Everybody knows we can’t fight racism with more hate Everybody knows we can’t heal wounds that segregate Everybody knows we can’t conquer elitism with pride Everybody knows we can’t let fascism be our guide [Chorus] Can we forgive the drama, can we hold each other’s hand Can we forgive the dogma, make them understand Can we forgive the trauma, like waves on sand Everybody knows, it’s time to make a stand [Verse 2] Everybody knows the world’s shadows have grown Everybody feels it deep, the ache we’ve sown Everybody’s lost in dreams of what we could mend But everybody knows it’s hard to pretend [Chorus] Can we forgive the drama, can we hold each other’s hand Can we forgive the dogma, make them understand Can we forgive the trauma, like waves on sand Everybody knows, it’s time to make a stand [Bridge] Everybody knows, the cycles spin too fast We keep building walls, anchored in the past If love is the answer, let’s let it ring And maybe together, we’ll find a way to sing [Verse 3] Everybody knows, we’re just people under the skin Everybody knows, the place where love begins Everybody knows, we’ve been led astray But maybe tonight, we’ll find a better way [Chorus] Can we forgive the drama, can we hold each other’s hand Can we forgive the dogma, make them understand Can we forgive the trauma, like waves on sand Everybody knows, it’s time to make a stand [Outro] Everybody knows, the dream we’ve chased But now’s the time, to make haste Can we let go, of the burdens we bear Everybody knows, love’s already there
