Common Ground Lyrics - Singles - Frey Glenn

Wonderin' how to cross the river 

On a cold and windy night 

With the water ragin' higher 

By the moon's shinin' light 

Suddenly a man stepped forward 

And he looked at all around 

He said, "We all must cross this river 

We all stand on common ground" 

Though I was standin' amongst strangers 

I did not know their names 

I realized they were with me 

And our journey was the same 

As he spoke out loud, I looked around me 

I could see they knew it, too 

We would cross or die together 

No one man could make it through 

There was shelter across the river 

Across the water deep and black 

As a storm moved in behind us, 

There was no way to turn back 

So I stepped right up beside him 

And took one last look around 

That before my eyes I realized, 

We all stand on common ground 

We all stand on common ground 

So many years have come and gone 

Since we crossed that river wide 

When I look back on that night 

It still moves me so inside 

This world today is like that river 

Its water cold and black 

We all must cross together, 

For there is no turnin' back 

For the mountain high or a city street, 

It's the same old world below our feet 

It's time to wake up, people, and take a look around 

We all stand on common ground 

It's time for every woman and every man 

And hold the future in our hands 

Wake up and look around, 

We all stand on common ground 

We all stand on common ground
