lyrics

COMMON GROUND
Bonnie Bishop/Gary Nicholson/Will Kimbrough/Ashley and Russ Bauer/Carolina Vela and Fernando Olivas-Fortin/Sue and Chris McDuffie/Patty and Thomas Moore/Devon and Josh Varner

Sometimes it feels like I’m the only one
I hear you talking and I know I’m not alone
It’s never easy showing vulnerability
These unspoken bonds are so new to me.

Well it’s hard to open up and put yourself out there
We’ve moved around so much to meet someone who cares
They might not know the difference what you need and what you want
And you need a friend, you need a confidant.

(Common Ground) things we never talk about
(Common Ground) it’s hard to say it out loud
(Common Ground) but I feel safe with these friends around
We’re standing on common ground.

Well, I’ve never lived for me, it’s always for someone else
Right now it feels like I can be true to myself
I need to find connection with my husband and my kids
I don’t wanna have to keep my inner feelings hid.

He can hear it in my voice when something is wrong
We told our truth and we’ve turned it into song
I take it to the heart so hard it hurts me to the core
And I don’t want to feel this way anymore.

(Common Ground) things we never talk about
(Common Ground) cause it’s hard to say it out loud
(Common Ground) but I feel safe with these friends around
We’re standing on common ground.

Well I’m trying to accept the man he has become
His only innocence is what we keep at home
It’s hard to know the things that he’s been asked to do
And everything these wars have put my husband through.

(Common Ground) things we never talk about
(Common Ground) well it’s hard to say it out loud
(Common Ground) but I feel safe with these friends around
We’re standing on common ground.
