HERE'S AN IDEA

Here's an idea,
I'll make it more about you than it is about me.
Lets stop taking ourselves so seriously.,
Here's an idea,
When we talk to each other, let's both tell the truth,
Lay our differences aside, I'd like to get along with you.

Sometimes it feels like our whole world's turned upside down.
If we use common sense, we might find common ground.
Don't be scared.

Here's an idea,
Let's put our heads together, no telling what we can do.
We're in a race against time that we can't afford to lose.
Here's an idea,
Oh love's about give give giving without keeping score,
And one thing I know about love is we need more.

This might mean stepping outside of your comfort zone.
But don't you worry, don't be afraid, you're not in this alone,

Here's an idea,
Well, I'll give you a smile and it won't cost you a cent.
If we don't waste time, we won't wonder where it went.

Sometimes it feels like our whole world's turned upside down.
But, if we use common sense, we might find common ground.
Don't be scared,
Here's an idea.
Say, here's an idea.
Well, here's an idea.
Here's an idea.
