Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Why can't we live together?
Tell me why, tell me why
Why can't we live together?
Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together?

No more war, no more war, no more war
Just a little peace in this world
No more war, no more war
All we want is some peace in this world

Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together?

No matter, no matter what color
You are still my brother
I said, "No matter, no matter what color, no
You are still my brother"

Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together?

Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Why can't we live together?
Tell me why, tell me why
Why can't we live together?

Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together?

Together
Together
Together

Steve Winwood

Steven Lawrence Winwood is most famous for his solo work, including two number one hits Higher Love and Roll with It, and for being the member of two supergroups, Traffic and Blind Faith, along with helping found the Spencer Davis Group at fourteen years old.

Speaking of which, Mozart had nothing on Winwood as a keyboard

As a boy in middle school, little Stevie Winwood played the Hammond synth for Blues gods and Rock & Roll founders like Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley, when they toured in Britain. We’d list more, but it’s exhausting to link all of those names.
