You say this world is all divisions and problems
You think that we were born as sworn enemies
You tell yourself that we got nothing in common
Hey brother, I disagree

Let's get up, down shake it out
Take it to the ocean
Let it sink in sink or swim
Sing it once again
Let's get up, down drown it out
Flip the TV over
Everybody starts making sense

Let's be friends
Sometimes we're up
Sometimes we're down, down
Let's be friends
Peace and the love
Can turn it around and around
Let's be friends

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Let's be friends

You wanna sit and stir the pot till it boils
You light the wick, so you can fan up the flames
Stay separated like the water and oil
Hey sister, quit playing games

Let's get up, down, shake it out
Take it to the ocean
Let it sink in, sink or swim
Sing it once again
Let's get up, down, tune it out
Flip the TV over
Everybody start making sense

Let's be friends
Sometimes we're up
Sometimes we're down, down
Let's be friends
Peace and the love can turn it around and around
Let's be friends
