If we could see the smile before the color of the face
We'd realize we're all one human race
If we raise a hand, let it be to show we care
And if we raise a voice, let it be to say a prayer
When everybody's God has a different name
It's hard to see how the truth might always be the same
But in our rush to get to Heaven
Let's not fight to claim a place
Cause every kind of hell is a stone's throw away
If we could hear the words and not what language that we speak
We'd realize we're not so different you and me
But if we criticize instead of tolerate
If we start to shout, how can we communicate?
When everybody talks in a different way
It's hard to see how the truth might always be the same
But there's angels always watching
So be careful what you say
Cause every kind of hell is a stone's throw away
Nobody's perfect that I have ever known
So who's got the right to throw the first stone?
When everybody's God has a different name
It's hard to see how the truth might always be the same
But in our rush to get to Heaven
Let's not fight to claim a place
Cause every kind of hell is a stone's throw away
Every kind of hell is a stone's throw away
