A Lot in Common Lyrics
I was driving in my car last night Radio up and came to a stoplight Had a man who came up to my window and Asked for a dollar cause he was in a tight jam I could tell by his eyes he's been Judged by the world and everyone that's close to him But I don't see what they see My heart believes in what he could be I see life colorblind still Equality gets so hard to find You and me both one of a kind Made like a star to shine let's shine
Chorus: Sometimes we're up and sometimes we're down Sometimes the world goes round and round And we don't stop to think that We got a lot in common Sometimes we have it sometimes we don't What matters most is not the physical Just look inside your soul cause We got a lot in common
We gotta keep on keep on, and gotta press on press on- blazing ahead
I see the sun coming up and I'm feeling the rays And thinking back on my life and not forgetting the days When I was a little lost and only trying to get paid And how my momma always prayed that I would be ok Then a day soon came when my sky turned grey And every friend that I had turned and walked away I never thought that I would see this day But then I heard a voice crying through the dark You're my son just pray And what I said next vexed my heart but nonetheless Admitted that I was wrong, committed to do my best Hard times still came but they far from my chest I breathe easy believe me my soul's at rest
I can tell in your vision that you can't no more Your shirt is stained by the tears that nobody ever saw A slave to solitude handcuffed by people's claws Who never even noticed the depth of the scars A fatherless child who never got the chance to hold Daddy's hand and mommy was always working trying to pay the rent So your voyage began on a trail to the end Cause you never knew what love looked like to begin But I promise that the day will come when you win And what you thought was once lost will be placed in your hand Then the days of being second will be lost in the wind So bear with us and let me hear the Chorus again
Through all the low times No where to go times When your world's crashing down And there's no one around Don't you worry we can make it If we just realize we all look the same inside Get together and come alive
Song Description: "This song got its beginning with a guitar and a small group of us in a living room back in Orlando, FL. We were sitting in the studio thinking of writing another song that we knew would be lyrically available to young people as well as the older generation. We came up with this tune that breaks down all misconceived perceptions of stereotypes that exist today. We wanted to encourage people to look beyond what they know, and give the unknown a chance...who knows, you may find you have a lot in common with it." - Group 1 Crew
