Common Ground

[Verse 1] If it were just the best of us Against the rest of us It wouldn’t even be an argument at all It would be a victory or A Spanish Civil War But I’m really not so sure that is the way it is at all [Chorus 1] If we are to find a way to live Then we need to build ourselves a bridge And if we were to build ourselves that bridge We could meet in the middle and forgive [Verse 2] If all we are is dust to dust Then in the end what’s left of us Are the traces of the way we treat the ones we meet And the ones who trouble us The greatest test of us Seems to me to be the way we disagree [Chorus 2] If we are to find a way to live Then we need to build ourselves a bridge And if we were to build ourselves that bridge We could meet in the middle and forgive Let’s meet on the bridge and forgive (Let’s meet on the bridge and forgive) Let’s meet on the bridge and forgive (Let’s meet on the bridge and forgive) [Bridge] If there’s hope to be found We will find it in our common ground And if that ground is to be reached There are walls around us to be breached And if that breach can be made Drag the others through don’t be afraid Or let our differences drag us down I believe we’ll find our common ground [Outro] I want us to find a way to live Roll up your sleeves let’s build a bridge I want us to find a way to live Let’s meet on the bridge and forgive (Let’s meet on the bridge and forgive) Let’s meet on the bridge and forgive (Let’s meet on the bridge and forgive) Let’s meet on the bridge and forgive (common ground) Let’s meet on the bridge and forgive (common ground)
