Common Ground-Glenn Frey

[00:01.67]Wonderin' how to cross the river [00:07.35]On a cold and windy night [00:12.41] [00:13.42]With the water ragin' higher [00:19.58]By the moon's shinin' light [00:25.07] [00:25.69]Suddenly a man stepped forward [00:30.94]And he looked at all around [00:35.60] [00:36.41]He said, "We all must cross this river [00:41.41] [00:42.15]We all stand on common ground" [00:47.77] [00:50.58]I Though was standin' amongst strangers [00:53.87] [00:54.44]I did not know their names [00:57.30] [00:58.11]I realized they were with me [01:01.48] [01:02.04]And our journey was the same [01:04.90] [01:05.78]As he spoke out loud, I looked around me [01:09.05] [01:09.74]I could see they knew it, too [01:12.49] [01:13.48]We would cross or die together [01:16.42] [01:17.23]No one man could make it through [01:20.17] [01:21.10]There was shelter across the river [01:23.90] [01:24.84]Across the water deep and black [01:27.71] [01:28.59]As a storm moved in behind us, [01:32.08] [01:32.64]There was no way to turn back [01:35.38] [01:36.39]So I stepped right up beside him [01:39.53] [01:40.40]And took one last look around [01:43.27] [01:44.21]That before my eyes I realized, [01:47.87]We all stand on common ground [01:50.87] [01:51.68]We all stand on common ground [01:54.77] [02:29.04]So many years have come and gone [02:32.17]Since we crossed that river wide [02:34.76] [02:36.63]When I look back on that night [02:39.25] [02:39.88]It still moves me so inside [02:42.75] [02:43.87]This world today is like that river [02:46.65] [02:47.34]Its water cold and black [02:50.33] [02:51.14]We all must cross together, [02:54.07] [02:54.88]For there is no turnin' back [02:57.94] [02:58.69]For the mountain high or city a street, [03:02.05] [03:02.74]It's the same old world below our feet [03:05.77] [03:06.49]It's time to wake up, people, take a look around [03:09.62] [03:10.95]We all stand on common ground [03:14.07] [03:14.69]It's time for every woman and every man [03:17.81] [03:18.75]And hold the future in our hands [03:21.33] [03:22.58]Wake up and look around, [03:24.37] [03:25.56]We all stand on common ground [03:28.36] [03:29.30]We all stand on common ground
