Hello
When did we decide not to say hello
When did the world get too small for us all
You never know you might make someone's day
To just give a smile and say ‘Hey’.
Hello - Hello Hello
It’s such an easy word to say
Hello - Hello Hello
Go out and say it to someone today
You might make a friend
And love’s sure to grow
When somebody says, Hello
Back in the day it was rude not to say
Something to someone who’s passing your way
Is the world too afraid have the people outgrown
To reach out a say hello
Hello - Hello Hello
It’s such an easy word to say
Hello - Hello Hello
Go out and say it to someone today
You might make a friend
And love’s sure to grow
When somebody says, Hello
Th bricks in the wall
The lines in the sand
They all go away when you do what you can
To let down your guard
And just find a way
Just say Hello
A stranger is only as strange as you make them to be
It’s one word to say
There’s so many things that you might give away
The diamonds are cold and the flowers will fade
For someone in sorrow you might see a glow
When you offer a kind hello
Hello - Hello Hello
It’s such an easy word to say
Hello - Hello Hello
Go out and say it to someone today
You might make a friend
And love’s sure to grow
When somebody says, Hello
If somebody says, Hello

so you want to start a little war
you want to swing your little fists
But you won’t sign your name
on all those stories that you twist
Cause I know how you live your life
And I know where you keep your heart
And I won’t play the sucker
when your tinderbox shoots sparks
Don’t you tell me how to think
Don’t you tell me how to feel
Don’t you tell me how to breathe
You don’t wanna see me kneel
All medicine, no sugar
You’ve been breaking rocks so long
you have lost the tools to build
burned my last good grace
In all the dignity you killed
You weren’t there when they smashed the lights
You won’t be there when the bloodshed starts
But sure as hell you’ll claim you’re
still the sheriff in these parts
Don’t you tell me how to think
Don’t you tell me how to feel
Don’t you tell me how to breathe
You don’t wanna see me kneel
All medicine, no sugar

v1:
I've got a friend I love
Says, "why you gotta make it about race?"
And I got a hundred bucks
Says he ain't willin' to trade his place
...his place in the sun
v2:
I thought we knew what's right
But I'm starting to second guess
If you see just black & white
You might find there's nothing left
ch:
I might have missed the march
But I've got a song, and I'm gonna sing it
You can hate me if you want
-----
'Cause we're in trouble now
It's too late to say, "we're gonna wing it"
We'll regret it if we don't
v3:
I think he's dumb & mean
You don't need a heart to be cruel
It's time to close this scene
Rid ourselves of this gang of old fools
ch:
I might have missed the march
But I've got a song, and I'm gonna sing it
You can hate me if you want
-----
'Cause we're in trouble now
It's too late to say, "we're gonna wing it"
We'll regret it if we don't
v4:
I've heard some people say
"That couldn't happen here"
Take a look at today
It all seems crystal clear
br:
We need empathy, not apathy
A smaller dose of tragedy
And leaders who know how to be
Something close to human
ch:
I might have missed the march
But I've got a song, and I'm gonna sing it
You can hate me if you want
-----
'Cause we're in trouble now
It's too late to say, "we're gonna wing it"
We'll regret it if we don't
ch:
You might miss the march
But you've got a song, and you've gotta shout it
Let them hate you if they want
-----
'Cause we're in trouble now
It's too late to say, there's no doubt about it
We'll regret it if we don't
We'll regret it if we don't
