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, 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
