[Intro]
Why's it so hard to love one another?
Why's it so hard to love?
Why's it so hard to love one another?
Why's it so hard to love?
[Verse 1]
What do I have to do to be respected?
What do I have to say?
What do I have to do to be accepted?
How do I have to play? (How do i?)
What do I have to look like to feel I'm equal?
Where do I have to go? (Go)
What club do I have to join to prove I'm worthy?
Who do I have to know?
[Chorus]
I'm telling you brothers (Brothers), sisters (Sisters)
Why can't we learn to (Why's it so hard?) challenge the system
Without living in pain?
Brothers (Brothers), sisters (Sistеrs)
Why can't we learn to (Why's it so hard?) accept that wе're different
Before it's all too late?
[Verse 2]
What do I have to learn to know what's right for me?
What do I have to know? (What do I have to know?)
What am I gonna do when I feel righteous?
Where do I have to go? (Where do I have to go?)
Who should get to say what I believe in?
Who should have the right?
What am I going to do with all this anger?
Why do I have to fight?
[Chorus]
I'm telling you brothers (Brothers), sisters (Sisters)
Why can't we learn to (Why's it so hard?) challenge the system
Without living in pain?
Brothers (Brothers), sisters (Sisters)
Why can't we learn to (Why's it so hard?) accept that we're different
Why's it so damn hard?
[Post-Chorus]

Bring your love, sing your love
Wear your love, share your love
Bring your love, sing your love
Wear your love, share your love
Bring your love, sing your love
Wear your love, share your love

Wear your love, show your sister how
Love your brother now, show your sister how

[Refrain]
(Why's it so damn hard?)
Why's it so hard to love one another?
Why's it so hard to love?
Why's it so hard to love one another?
Why's it so hard to love?
