1
Wonderin' how to cross the river
2
On a cold and windy night
3
With the water ragin' higher
4
By the moon's shinin' light
5
Suddenly a man stepped forward
6
And he looked at all around
7
He said, "We all must cross this river
8
We all stand on common ground"
9
Though I was standin' amongst strangers
10
I did not know their names
11
I realized they were with me
12
And our journey was the same
13
As he spoke out loud, I looked around me
14
I could see they knew it, too
15
We would cross or die together
16
No one man could make it through
17
There was shelter across the river
18
Across the water deep and black
19
As a storm moved in behind us,
20
There was no way to turn back
21
So I stepped right up beside him
22
And took one last look around
23
That before my eyes I realized,
24
We all stand on common ground
25
We all stand on common ground
26
So many years have come and gone
27
Since we crossed that river wide
28
When I look back on that night
29
It still moves me so inside
30
This world today is like that river
31
it's water cold and black
32
We all must cross together,
33
For there is no turnin' back
34
For the mountain high or a city street,
35
It's the same old world below our feet
36
It's time to wake up, people, and take a look around
37
We all stand on common ground
38
It's time for every woman and every man
39
And hold the future in our hands
40
Wake up and look around,
41
We all stand on common ground
42
We all stand on common ground
