(Don't) Give Hate A Chance

Why can't we be together?
Could you love me, don't hate me
I don't see why can't we live together
Maybe we could get it on, people we could get along
Should be our destiny
There's a cold streak living inside us
There's no rainbows... just bullets and bombs
If you want to rise up
We can make this hate stop
Now don't you want to rise up

We've been giving hate a chance
We've got all this love to give, you know
And the love will be running out for us
Can you feel the dreams of life
That hope that we can still survive
As the wind carries every dove away

So why do we see these colours
It's only skin deep, don't mean a thing
So clear underneath this we're all brothers
Can't you see it's killing us
Can't you see it's killing us
Can't you see it's killing me
Trigger happy fantasy
So stand up and be so strong now
Freedom is not so far away
If you know you want to rise up
We can make this hate stop
Now don't you want to rise up

We've been giving hate a chance
We've got all this love to give, you know
And the love will be running out for us
Can you feel the dreams of life
That hope that we can still survive
As the wind carries every dove away

The wind carries every dove away
The wind carries every dove away
Every dove away
Dove, dove, dove, dove, dove, dove, dove

Now you've been taking our dignity for too long
I want to save this sanctity that we hold
And who's right and who is wrong
We're not so different anyway
Words are in this song
Can't we stop the fighting?
Cause...

We've been giving hate a chance
We've got all this love to give, you know
And the love will be running out for us
Can you feel the dreams of life
That hope that we can still survive
As the wind carries every dove away

Don't give this hate a chance
We've got all this love to give, you know
That this dream's alive, will still survive
Until no more people have to cry
Don't give this hate a chance
We've got all this love to give, you know
That this dream's alive, will still survive
Until no more people have to cry
Don't give this hate a chance
We've got all this love to give, you know
That this dream's alive, will still survive
Until no more people have to cry
