The band got the idea for this song when they were traveling in Japan in the early '70s.
"We're all connected by language, and by our food, and by our culture. Most racists don't know
why they're racist. But you pick them up and take them over and drop them in a country,
like India or Pakistan, guess what? 'Why can't we be friends?' Because all of a sudden you
find out we're more alike inside than we are on the outside. We started realizing that that's really important. You travel all over the world, you can't speak a lot of their language. But one thing they do know, they know your body language, how you may react." (songfacts.com)
