Common Ground
1) I send the song of the heretic; you send back all your hate.
When I don’t react at all you act like you’re afraid.
Why is common ground is so hard to find?
Will you come and take my life long before it’s time?
2) If peace is not an option, come on let’s go to war.
From day one to the last day, are you worth dying for?
I will be the bold marauder but if the seeds are sown
We’ll heed the words of all the good people this world’s ever known.
3) I’ll try a song of freedom, one I’ve never known.
When all the notes ring true, I’ll be where I belong.
Come share the land at the northern border and when it’s time to go
The gift of common ground will be forever so.
