Lyrics
Common Ground / Jim Buckley 2008<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
Well all we need is a little common ground<br />
That’s what makes this great big world go around<br />
We may be different but I have found<br />
We all share some common ground<br />
<br />
Verse 1<br />
It doesn’t matter if you come from Georgia or Spain<br />
We’re all connected with each other like links in a chain<br />
You may use a wheel chair or walk with a cane<br />
But we can all ride the freedom train<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
Well all we need is a little common ground<br />
That’s what makes this great big world go around<br />
We may be different but I have found<br />
We all share some common ground<br />
<br />
Verse 2<br />
It doesn’t matter what religion you choose<br />
You may like classical music<br />
I like rock n roll and the blues<br />
If we all join together we can make a joyous sound<br />
Come on let’s share a little common ground<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
Well all we need is a little common ground<br />
That’s what makes this great big world go around<br />
We may be different but I have found<br />
We all share some common ground<br />
<br />
Verse 3<br />
My Uncle Ted lived in the same house<br />
In the same little town<br />
Throughout my fifty years I’ve traveled all around<br />
And from the great biggest city<br />
To the smallest little town<br />
We all share some common ground<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
Well all we need is a little common ground<br />
That’s what makes this great big world go around<br />
We may be different but I have found<br />
We all share some common ground<br />
<br />
Verse 4<br />
Once I tried climbing that ladder of success<br />
I made piles and piles of money<br />
But my life was full of stress<br />
Maybe if we give a little more<br />
And take a little bit less<br />
We’ll find the key to happiness<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
Well all we need is a little common ground<br />
That’s what makes this great big world go around<br />
We may be different but I have found<br />
We all share some common ground<br />
Yes, we’re all different but I have found<br />
We all share a little common ground
