A Lot In Common Lyrics & Chords By Group 1 Crew

Oh-oo-oh-oo-oh.

I was drivin' in my car last night; radio up and came to a stoplight; had a man who came up to my window and; asked for a dollar cause he was in a tight jam; I could tell by his eyes he's been; judged by the world and everyone that's close to him; but I don't see what they see; my heart believes in what he could be; I see life colorblind still; equality gets so hard to find (hard to find); you and me both one of a kind; made like a star to shine, let's shine.

(Chorus: Sometimes we're up and sometimes we're down; sometimes the world goes round and round; and we don't stop to think that; we got a lot in common; sometimes we have it, sometimes we don't; what matters most is not the physical; just look inside your soul ‘cause; we got a lot in common).

We gotta keep on, keep on; hm-mm-mm-mm; and gotta press on, press on (get it); blazing ahead.

I see the sun comin' up and I'm feeling the rays; and thinkin' back on my life and not forgettin' the days; when I was a little lost and only tryin' to get paid; and how my momma always prayed that I would be ok; then a day soon came when my sky turned grey; and every friend that I had turned and walked away; I never thought that I would see this day; but then I heard a voice crying through the dark; you're my son just pray; and what I said next vexed my heart but nonetheless; admitted that I was wrong, committed to do my best; hard times still came but they far from my chest; I breathe easy believe me my soul's at rest.

(Chorus).

Yo', I can tell in your vision that you can't no more; your shirt is stained by the tears that nobody ever saw; a slave to solitude handcuffed by people's claws; who, never even noticed the depth of the scars; a fatherless child who never got the chance to hold daddy's hand; the mommy's always workin' trying to pay the rent; so your voyage began on a trail to the end; ‘cause you never knew what love looked like to begin; but I promise that the day will come when you win; and what you thought was once lost will be placed in your hand; then the days of being second will be lost in the wind; so bear with us and let me hear the chorus again.

Oh-oh-oh, yeah; (Chorus).

Through all the low times; no where to go times; when your world's crashing down; and there's no one around; don't you worry we can make it; if we just realize we all look the same inside; get together and come alive.

Sometimes we're up and sometimes we're down; sometimes the world goes round and round; and we don't stop to think that; we got a lot in common; sometimes we have it, sometimes we don't; what matters most is not the physical; just look inside your soul ‘cause; we got a lot.

(Chorus).
