We - Shawn Phillips

She is free, but she does not know the price she has to pay

And he could be a lover in the life she leads throughout the day

And they both could live together

They could live in peace

They both could be in love together

And make the world at ease

Floating through a sea of troubles

That the world around them makes

And it really doesn’t matter when you know love’s pattern

Because you know that that is all it takes

And she could be a mother and a daughter at the same time for a man

And he could be a father and a son for her future family plan

And they could raise a lot of healthy children

Bring 'em up in harmony

And teach them all the good things in this life

But most important teach them how to be

To be open and attentive and loving

When the world around them shakes

And it really doesn’t matter when you know love’s pattern

Because you know that that is all it takes

She is thee, she’s every woman that’s living in the world today

And he is me, and I’m looking for the woman that tells me she is free

And we all can live together

We all can live in peace

We all can be in love together

And make the world at ease

Working through a sea of troubles

That the world around us makes

And it really doesn’t matter when you know love’s pattern

Because you know that that is all it takes
