I’m seeing myself in divine light.
I can do this for myself.
Here I am all filled with love, and
I see only beauty.
Our world is a paradise.
There’s beauty in our freedom of choice.
I live just how I want to live, and
You can be just who you want to be.
I’ll make up my mind about
What I feel is right for me.
I’m grateful for your love and support, and
I don’t worry if you can’t understand, ‘cause
I’ll be me.
There ain’t nobody who can do that for me, and
You be you.
Live the life that’s made for you.
We don’t have to agree, and you
You don’t have to come around, but
We might be surprised by how much we can share if we’re
Looking for our common ground — yeah!
And I hope that when we cross paths,
We can both be love for each other,
Recognizing and inspiring, and
Taking good care of this world we’re admiring,
Happy to be ourselves, and
Happy to know each other.
Oh, let it be that, you and me,
We’ll always live in peace.
In harmony!
In harmony!
Oh, let it be that, you and me,
We’ll always live in peace.
In harmony!
In harmony!
Oh, let it be that, you and me,
We’ll always live in peace. Yeah,
Let it be that, you and me,
We’ll always live in peace.
