Hitchhiking Song Lyrics

[Scat] (x2)
Do do, do da
Do do, do da da

[Verse 1]
Why can't we live in a world
Where I can hold out my hand
And you can take me for a ride
And I can do the same for you
And we'd both know we're on the same side
But I've been sitting on the ground
Or maybe it's just my dreads are a little out of shape
Cause you've got a pretty nice car
With a pretty nice shoe on the gas pedal making an easy escape
And when did it start to feel
Like everybody's in some kind of a war?
Like if you're not of the same age
Don't come from the same place or the same race
Then what are you even asking for?

[Chorus]
I hope we find our humanity and I
I hope we find our hearts
And I hope we find them soon
Before it's too late
Before everything starts to fall apart
And this is my love song, too
To everybody on the earth
You can treat me like your sister
Or you can treat me like dirt
And I will still love you
For whatever it's worth
Hey ya
[Scat](x2)
Do do, do da Do do, do da da

[Verse 2]
What makes us think that we own this world?
I can come to your country
So why can't you come to mine?
Let's tear down these borders, we've given so much power
To what's actually just an imaginary line
We try to keep our gates closed
Cause we know that we have more
But I've lost count of how many people with less
Have given me half of their food and let me sleep on their floor
And oh, I have hope
That deep down we are willing to share
But we've spent so many years
Teaching ourselves how to look away
That maybe we're forgotten how to care

[Scat] (x4)
Do do, do da
Do do, do da da

[Chorus]
And I hope we find our humanity and I
I hope we find our hearts
I hope we find them soon
Before it's too late
Before everything starts to fall apart
And this is my love song
To everybody on the earth
You can treat me like your sister
Or you can treat me like dirt
And I will still love you
For whatever it's worth
