Learn To Love Each Other
So many different ways I could've gone with this title and may rewrite it down the road, but for now, this is what I got. This song stems from having regained a lost friendship of which differences in political views had previously destroyed. We have agreed to be kinder to one another. Any feedback is welcome.

LEARN TO LOVE EACH OTHER
V1
I may come off as a Liberal
But that would be all wrong
And I sure as hell ain’t no Conservative
As the day is long
Oh, and if you ask me, neither one of ‘em deserves my vote
‘Cuz the donkey’s and elephants, they’re sinkin’ the same boat
[Chorus]
We gotta learn
Learn to love each other again
Yeah, we gotta learn
Learn to love each other again
Sisters and brothers, wives and husbands
Family and friends
We gotta learn
Learn to love each other again, yeah-ee-yeah, yeah-ee-yeah
V2
Have I told you lately
Told you lately, my friend
How much you mean to me
Until the bitter-end
Oh, and if you ask me this divide and conquer coup has gotta go
If we follow the Golden Rule we might live to see tomorrow
[Chorus]
We gotta learn
Learn to love each other again
Yeah, we gotta learn
Learn to love each other again
Sisters and Brothers, wives and husbands
Family and friends
We gotta learn, we gotta learn, we gotta learn to love each other again
Yeah-ee-yeah, Yeah-ee-yeah, Yeah-ee-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-ee-yeah, Yeah-ee-yeah, Yeah-ee-yeah, yeah-yeah
[Chorus]
We gotta learn
Learn to love each other again
We gotta learn
Learn to love each other again
Sisters and Brothers, wives and husbands
Family and friends
We gotta learn
Learn to love each other again
V1/Repeats
I may come off as a Liberal
But that would be all wrong
And I sure as hell ain’t no Conservative
As the day is long
Oh, and if you ask me, neither one of ‘em deserves my vote
‘Cuz the donkey’s and elephants are sinkin’ the same boat

We gotta learn

We gotta learn

We gotta learn
We gotta learn to love each other again
We gotta learn
We gotta learn to love each other again, yeh-ee-yeah, yeh-ee-yeah, yeh-ee-yeah
We Gotta Learn!

Cool. I particularly like the chorus, and these lines:
Sisters and Brothers, wives and husbands
Family and friends
This is obviously a personal song, and beyond that an American song, but still enjoyable for an outsider like me to listen to. 😁

@RainyDayMan Thank you, Owen. Yeah, the elephants and donkeys, across the pond, you guys don't have. May I ask what they call your Left and Right? Or, don't they have nicknames?
Thank you for listening,

Main two parties in Australia are called Labour and Liberal, though the Liberals usually form a Coalition with the National party (farmers etc) and are referred to as "The Coalition". Labour would be closer to your Democrats and The Coalition more Republican, but neither is extreme. Not sure they really have nicknames.

Your chorus reminds me of this quote: "We are all brothers and sisters in the family of humanity and life is the cosmic giggle in the breath of the universe."
always nice to get reminded ! thank you !!!

@derryk4real Thanks so much, Derry and I did look up and listen to the Grateful Dead tune you mentioned; very pretty and meaningful song. And no, I wasn't familiar with it. Thank you for sharing.
And nice to meet you!

Yep, at the end of the day we are all people and need to live and love together as human beings, regardless of our differences. I will say that in my opinion, one of the two sides embraces this much more than the other (I won't say which as I don't want to start debates). But to just keep it to the music, this is a real cool track, man. I love the old school rock vibe as it somehow just fits for this style of song. It reminds me a bit of Revolution, another famous political song about centrism.

Love, love, another catchy tune with a positive message! You came out the gate swinging and got me rockin. I could dance to this one.
"I may come off as a Liberal
But that would be all wrong
And I sure as hell ain’t no Conservative

Oh, and if you ask me, neither one of ‘em deserves my vote
‘Cuz the donkey’s and elephants are sinkin’ the same boat"
Good job, Renee. Keep them coming.
