Common Ground - Anthony Ramos, Margot Bingham

Make my way back to common ground

Make my way back to common ground

Make my way back to common ground

Make my way back

Am I angry?

Tell me am I angry?

At the picture in my head

Of what’s ahead

I’m trying to have patience

But my heart keeps on breakin'

Cause I trust you to protect

But you turn your back instead

Too many times I let you get away with murder

How am I to explain this insanity to our future

You can call it what you want

But I’m watching what you do

And I’m calling you out

And I’m calling you out

If we pretend like we don’t know

We won’t mend and we won’t grow

So I’m calling you out

And I’m reaching out

To make our way back to common ground

Let’s make our way back to common ground

Make our way back to common ground

Make our way back

You had me thinking it was perfect

Nothing wrong

But now I see I was deceived

The cracks have shown

Couldn’t believe it I perceived it was built on truth

Uncovered the facts damn

Let’s see what else you got hidin'

Black and white, black and white, black and white

You cut out the colors to paint a line

The red on your hands is hard to hide

All of a sudden you’re colorblind

Black and white, black and white, black and white

Despite all the pictures of painted lies

I have a dream that we make it right

I have a dream that we make it right

I have a dream

So call it what you want

But I’m watching what you do

And I’m calling you out

I’m calling you out

Don’t pretend like we don’t know

We won’t mend and we won’t grow

So I’m calling you out

And I’m reaching out

To make our way back to common ground

Let’s make our way back to common ground

I can’t move forward without you

I ain’t about to leave our legacy to wither away

There’s too much at stake

I know we can make our way

Too many times I let you get away with murder

I refuse to explain this insanity to our future

You can call it what you want

But I’m watching what you do

And I’m calling you out

And I’m calling you out

If we pretend like we don’t know

We won’t mend and we won’t grow

So I’m calling you out

And I’m reaching out

To make our way back to common ground

Let’s make our way back to common ground
