The Common Ground

Intro

Oh oh

Lord help us now

Mm hmm

Verse 1

Dirt on my boots from the Georgia red clay

Still we all see that same golden sun sink down low

Cold river water running through every valley

No matter where you go

Pre-Chorus

Common ground is under your feet

Common ground is what makes us whole

Common ground where the strangers meet

Chorus

Love is the key to open your heart

Love is the key to open your heart

Love is the key

It is time to do our part

The time has come to do our part

For the family on this earth

Give a hand for what it is worth

Post-Chorus

One heart one mind

One heart one mind

One heart one mind

Human kind

Verse 2

Kind deeds move mountains like a rolling stone

Hard spirits soften when a brothers hand reaches out wide

Feeding the hungry until nobody stands alone

Nowhere for hate to hide

Pre-Chorus

Common ground is under your feet

Common ground is what makes us whole

Common ground where the strangers meet

Chorus

Love is the key to open your heart

Love is the key to open your heart

Love is the key

It is time to do our part

The time has come to do our part

For the family on this earth

Give a hand for what it is worth

Post-Chorus

One heart one mind

One heart one mind

One heart one mind

Human kind

Bridge

Instilling sight

Instilling hope

Instilling peace

Break every chain that held us down

Lift up the soul from the muddy ground

Chorus

Love is the key to open your heart

Love is the key to open your heart

Love is the key

It is time to do our part

The time has come to do our part

For the family on this earth

Give a hand for what it is worth

Post-Chorus

One heart one mind

One heart one mind

One heart one mind

Human kind

Outro

From mountain highs to where the rivers wind

Every face, every faith, every struggle intertwined

Raise up our voices under open sky

Let this hope carry us, never asking why

Side by side, let’s build what lasts

A bridge of mercy spanning all our pasts

Lighting the spark in the darkest night

With open arms, we’ll hold on tight

Post-Chorus

One heart one mind

One heart one mind

One heart one mind

Human kind

Tag

Brothers and sisters, you and me

Stronger together, we will be

One heart, one mind, one family

Human kind, forever free
