Common Ground Songtext

this labyrinth, the world we make, is one to be reckoned with.
it's a sound that I contain.
no. one breathes. their faame
their lines.. me.. so in a bank?
lets search for some common ground.

[jr. gong]
well me go so bow chu madame, an ya senorita.
have a likkle superheavy up in I ya mixtcha.
it remain in all your stereo just like a fixtcha.
when you see us all together what a pretty pictcha.
they say lay up what we lay a we don't leap the textcha.
it come together archive dem scotch money papah.
ay, me tek no sticka man a step up.
so uh no tell um to de wolf sheep on shephard.
dat when the night.
turns to day.
and girl and ride.
run away
the peace so astound that the love you found. while searching for common ground.

[joss stone, chorus].
everybody come together hear this sound.
open up your ears look at what we found.
common ground
so gather round.
don't matter if your white, yellow, green or brown
every boy and every girl and in every town.
gather round
there's common ground.

[mick jagger]
there was a calvary.
down in new orleans.
and when the band would play.
their feet went flying.
and underneath the ponds.
bodies were swaying.
and in each other's arms.
lovers were prayin.
you may the one for me.
love is all around.
but what I've found I've been lookin for.
searching for common ground.

[joss stone]
everybody come together hear this sound.
open up your ears look at what we found.
common ground
so gather round.
don't matter if your white and a green or brown.
every boy and every girl in every town.
gather round
there's common ground.
