Doors were slammin', words were thrown Without thinking we were heading for storm How we got there was a mystery We used to live in harmony We were strangers on a road to pain Once we were laughing in the summer rain Can we sit down like we used to do? A starting point for something new Where love would guide us all the way through If we found our common ground, We could find a better way If we want that change to come We could face a brighter day It's time for building up And not tearing down We need to find a way to stand on common ground We need to find a way to stand on common ground There's no point in telling who's to blame Breathing smoke will never choke the flame Let's look ahead and maybe we could choose A starting point for something new Where love would guide us all the way through If we found our common ground, We could find a better way If we want that change to come We could face a brighter day It's time for building up And not tearing down We need to find a way to stand on common ground We need to find a way to stand on common ground Are we ready for another way out Than we tried before? Sick and tired of arguments, Let's try another door Are we willing to take some chances, Are we ready to try? Reaching out is a way of seeking Common ground Where love would guide us all the way through If we found our common ground, We could find a better way If we want that change to come We could face a brighter day It's time for building up And not tearing down We need to find a way to stand on common ground We need to find a way to stand on common ground We need to find a way to stand on common ground We need to find a way to stand on common ground
