Gift Of Acceptance

Some believe it's rigt to say Jesus when you pray,

Some believe Mahommed, Allah, or Buddah are the way.

Instead of a God or pantheon of gods up in the sky,

I'll honour your choices and you can honour mine.



Whether you are red, black, yellow, brown or white,

A man with a husband or a woman with a wife,

We can debate till the end of time who's wrong and who is right,

Or I can honour your choices and you can honour mine.



--Chorus--

We all want the same things from life,

We want peace, love and prosperity.

But can we give up our need to be right?

Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance.

Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance.



Some believe that God's a him and some say he's a her.

Does God live here in our hearts or out in the universe?

Ghandi was a Hindu, Martin Luther King a Christian,

Regardless of religion they knew love was the mission.



--Chorus--

We all want the same things from life,

We want peace, love and prosperity.

But can we give up our need to be right?

Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance.

Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance.



We can debate to the end of time who's wrong and who is right,

Or I can honour your choices and you can honour mine.

They call you Israeli and they call me an American,

I look at you and I don't see a country, I just see my friend,

I pray we're in each other's lives for a long,

long time Because I honour your choices and you honour mine.



--Chorus--

We all want the same things from life,

We want peace, love and prosperity.

But can we give up our need to be right?

Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance.

Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance.
