Common Ground

[Jr. gong:]

Greetings to the world

Hah

[Joss Stone:]

Oh, what's the first enchanted tear

Crystal drop? Little ra-ain

Then along came your face and

I'll never be the same again

Now you're a steak knife in the back

Selfish cause, complicate

This labyrinth, the world we make, is one to be reckoned with

It's a sound that I contain

No one breathes their fame

Their lines.. me.. so in a bank?

Let’s search for some common ground

[Jr. Gong:]

Well, me go so bow chu, madame, an ya, senorita

Have a little 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 you’re 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 will I find what 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 you’re white, yellow, green or brown

Every boy and every girl and in every town

Gather round

There's common ground

Everybody come together, hear this sound

Open up your ears, look at what we found

Common ground

So gather round

You may the one for me

No one breathes their fame

But will I find what I've been lookin’ for?

The search for some common ground

Searching for common ground
