Why Can't We Just Get Along

Why do we have to believe all the same things to be friends
Why can't we just agree to disagree and make amends
The constant put-downs are wrong
Why can't we just get along!

So you're an atheist and I'm a believer in God
If we're totally honest, don't we both see through a fog
Together we both belong
Why can't we just get along!

If your house burned down I'd be there in a wink to save you
And I know you'd be there in a heartbeat to save me too
Our unity is so strong
Why can't we just get along!

No matter who we vote for when election time comes 'round
We're neighbors in community, who stand on common ground
You know that we both belong
Why can't we just get along!
