| [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 |
