Lyrics

YOU CAN TALK TO ME

Two people from different places
With different faces, you and me
Still we are two people, that must mean something
Though we see some things differently

You're there and I'm over here
But in between is common ground
The love that's lost between you and me
Is still around, it can be found

You can talk to me
Yes, you can talk to me
In the end, my friend
We might agree to disagree
Or maybe we can work together
You can talk to me

It's a funny thing about people
We're all different but we're all the same
And maybe two people see the same thing
But we call it by a different name

You can talk to me...

If we listen hard enough
Then maybe we can hear
The braver angels on our shoulders
Whisper in our ears

So come closer, a little closer
When you're near I hear you better
What we hold in our hearts sometimes keeps us apart
But we could be stronger together

You can talk to me...
