Lyrics

Who am I to you?
Trouble's what you're thinkin'
If you only knew
I'm not after you
Only seekin'

What is our common ground?

Who are you to me?
Should I run for cover
Faced with history
How can people say
We all are brothers?

What is our common ground?
What can we both lay down?

What is our common ground?

Tell me how you're needing Love
I'm needing Love the same
Show me how you're grieving Love
I'm grieving Love the same
Show me how you're needing Love
I'm needing Love the same
Show me how you breathe in Love
I breathe in Love the same

Am I dreaming you?
Are you dreaming me?
Who's dream will it be?

What is our common ground?
Where can we both lay down?

Tell me how you're needing Love
I'm needing Love the same
Show me how you're grieving Love
I'm grieving Love the same
Show me how you're needing Love
I'm needing Love the same
Show me how you breathe in Love
I'll breathe in Love the same
