[Jr. gong:]
Greetings to the world
Hah
[Joss Stone:]
Oh, what's the first enchanted tear
Crystal drop? Little ra-ain
Then along came your face and
I'll never be the same again
Now you're a steak knife in the back
Selfish cause, complicate
This labyrinth, the world we make, is one to be reckoned with
It's a sound that I contain
No one breathes their fame
Their lines.. me.. so in a bank?
Let’s search for some common ground
[Jr. Gong:]
Well, me go so bow chu, madame, an ya, senorita
Have a little superheavy up in I ya mixtcha
It remain in all your stereo just like a fixtcha
When you see us all together what a pretty pictcha
They say lay up what we lay a we don't leap the textcha
It come together archive dem scotch money papah
Ay, me tek no sticka man a step up
So uh no tell um to de wolf sheep on shephard
Dat when the night
Turns to day
And girl and ride
Run away
The peace so astound that the love you found
While searching for common ground
[Joss stone, Chorus:]
Everybody come together, hear this sound
Open up your ears, look at what we found
Common ground
So gather round
Don't matter if you’re white, yellow, green or brown
Every boy and every girl and in every town
Gather round
There's common ground
[Mick Jagger:]
There was a calvary
Down in New Orleans
And when the band would play
Their feet went flying
And underneath the ponds
Bodies were swaying
And in each other's arms
Lovers were prayin’
You may the one for me
Love is all around
But will I find what I've been lookin’ for
Searching for common ground?
[Joss Stone:]
Everybody come together, hear this sound
Open up your ears, look at what we found
Common ground
So gather round
Don't matter if you’re white, yellow, green or brown
Every boy and every girl and in every town
Gather round
There's common ground
Everybody come together, hear this sound
Open up your ears, look at what we found
Common ground
So gather round
You may the one for me
No one breathes their fame
But will I find what I've been lookin’ for?
The search for some common ground
Searching for common ground
