On Common Ground Written By David Spencer Marsh © Copyright 2001 David Spencer Marsh ASCAP All Rights Reserved INTRO: VERSE ONE: When will we raise the veils and begin to see... Love is the only bridge..to unity...of mankind... So many hopes and dreams can still come true... But it all has to start..with me and you... And our pride.... CHORUS: We need to set aside our differences... And realize we're all the same... Everybody wants to be the innocent... Oh, nobody wants to take the blame... To reach a truce..we have to compromise... And that don't mean...giving in... It simply means that our wrongs are recognized... And we're ready to begin... To build On Common Ground.... BRIDGE VERSE TWO: Our children learn from what we say and do... Their future world depends on what we choose...today... The power is resting in the palms of our hands... The time has come for all..to rise and stand....stand for change... REPEAT CHORUS: To build on common ground... We can build on common ground.
