Speak of love in a warm embrace Speak of hope in a smiling face Speak of peace in the stars up there Speak of faith in a silent prayer But when I'm speaking to you And you're speaking to me Things get complicated When you're speaking to me And I'm speaking to you Voices are isolated Words just push the air around Gotta find some common ground In the space between us Speak of fear that has no name Speak of hate that seeks to blame Speak of pain behind each wall Speak of death that touches us all But when I'm speaking to you And you're speaking to me There's so much frustration When you're speaking to me And I'm speaking to you No communication Words of fear and words of rage Break the bars of this cage In the space between us But when I'm speaking to you And you're speaking to me Things get complicated When you're speaking to me And I'm speaking to you Voices are isolated Words just push the air around Gotta find some common ground In the space between us Words By Steven Mayoff Music By Melanie Doane And Creighton Doane (P) 1998 Sony Music Entertainment (Canada) Inc.
