[Verse 1]
Do you hear what I hear?
Can you see what I see?
Everybody's crying out
And yet we have no unity
My friends always ask me
"Mary, tell me why do you weep?"
'Cause I'm trying to get over
All the negativity
That's why I'm searching

Why I'm (Searching, searching, searching, searching)

We are living in a world
Of "Who has what?" and "Who is who?"
But I'm telling you my friend
The answer's right in front of you
We are searching for our peace
Peace of mind is what we need
We are searching for the love
That comes with the unity
