We are a common people, each of us a fallen man
Let's find that common ground and stop drawing lines in the sand
C GWe are a common people, living in a common life
Am FThere are ties that bind us all when we look beyond the lines
Common people you and I
Am G FCommon people you and I
C
I see a blind man on the street
GHe doesn't know what I look like
So he can't judge the man I am
FExcept by what he sees inside
CI see a child on the street
He doesn't know the mistakes I've made
AmI know he takes me where I am
FHe sees a friend not a crusade
Chorus
I see a brother on the other side
Gof my crusade, my holy fight
AmI think I know where I went wrong
when I gave up love to be proved right
CI saw a man die on a cross
GHe forgot the mistakes I've made
He died for me the way I was
Fand He wants me to love the same
Chorus
Dm
Can't we tear the fences down?
Can't we rip the labels off?
FCan we share the common ground
C Ginstead of judging what is not?
Can't we love instead of hate?
AmCan't we trust instead of fear?
FCan we stop fighting for a moment
and feel our common fear?
Am GIs it us against them, wrong against right,
Fblack against white, my kind your kind?
There comes a time to put the argument down
Fand have a party on the common ground!
Chorus
