Lyrics I Don't Know - Ray Emmanuel

Why can't everybody just love
The kind that was exemplified and sent from up above
Don't know about everybody else, but I know about me
Just wanna live my life and see that God is proud of me
Look, honestly, I just wanna be a good person
Tell me why there's people that love to see people hurting
Tell me why there's people that love to see people bleed
Why can't we just learn from the horrific things we've seen

Be glad that it ain't you, although it isn't, it could be
If I say something wrong, then here is my apology
Just wanna spread a message that everyone should hear
It shouldn't be a goal to leave anybody in tears
We should build each other up instead of tear each other down
Instead of gettin' shady when some people come around
I looked inside my life and I really liked what I found
My life is really good because the people I surround myself with
Laugh, joke, play around, love each other just as it should be
Regardless of my race,
I love my friends, it's like they're made for me
This is how the world should be, why can't it just be like this
Guess we'll just observe the improvements until our stories end
I just want to see us get better in state of mind
But in order for that to happen, we have to take some time
To realize that this life is a grind and we can't do it by ourselves
We need each other to survive

Why can't everyone just get along, be peaceful?
(I don't know)
Why I feel like nowadays everybody evil?
(I don't know)
Why don't folks understand everybody equal?
(I don't know)
All I know is that all this ignorance has got to go
All I know is that all this ignorance has got to go
