Why (feat. Mavis Staples) Paroles

I wonder why we can't just love and be free
Let everyone be all that they wanna be
Judge not lest you be a judge, let heaven decide
Still we don't do it, I wonder why

I know I'm not perfect but nobody is
There's things more important that are topping my list
Acceptance and kindness and doin' what's right
We would if we could, whoa, why don't we try

I wonder why we can't just love and be free
Let everyone be all that they wanna be
Judge not lest you be a judge, let heaven decide
Still we don't do it, I wonder why

I wonder why we can't just speak out and say
I see you my brother and I love you like [?]
Just be who you are with purpose and pride
'Cause God loves us all and I bet he wonders why

I wonder why we can't just let them be free
Let everyone be all that they wanna be
My brothers, my sisters, come walk by my side
Oh I will if you will, oh why don't we try

You know love is the answer to my question why
Still we don't do it and I wonder why
