You know it doesn't make much sense,

Any-	one who takes offense,

	G	F/G
At	a, day in	your celebration.

'Cos we all know in our minds,

Could not have a day that would,

Be	set aside for his	recognition.

C F/C, C

Because it should never be,

Bb Eb, Bb

Just be-cause some cannot see,

Am Em, Am

The dream as clear as he.

	G
That	they should make it,

	F/G
Be-	come an illusion.

Bridge 2:

And we	all know everything,

	All through-	out the wo-	rld?

Verse 3:

The time is overdue,

Bb Eb, Bb

For pe-ople like me and you,

Who know the way to truth;

Is	love and unity to	all God's children.

C F/C, C

It should be a great event,

And the whole day should be spent,

Am Em, Am

In full remembrance,

Of	those who lived and died,

For the	oneness of all people.

Sing it	loud as you	can...
