A Lot in Common

What matters most is not the physical
And how my momma always prayed that I would be okay
And we don’t stop to think that
Hard times still came but they far from my chest
Sometimes we have it, sometimes we don’t
Just look inside your soul 'cause
And we don’t stop to think that
But then I heard a voice crying through the dark
So your voyage began on a trail to the end
We got a lot in common
Judged by the world and everyone that’s close to him

Equality gets so hard to find
We got a lot in common
And thinking back on my life and not forgetting the days
Made like a star to shine, let’s shine
Asked for a dollar 'cause he was in a tight jam
And we don’t stop to think that

Sometimes the world goes round and round
Then the days of being second will be lost in the wind
Sometimes we have it, sometimes we don’t

A fatherless child who never got the chance to hold daddy’s hand
Sometimes we’re up and sometimes we’re down
Then a day soon came when my sky turned gray
Just look inside your soul 'cause

But I don't see what they see
We got a lot in common
And we don’t stop to think that
And mommy's always working trying to pay the rent
Sometimes we’re up and sometimes we’re down
Sometimes we have it, sometimes we don’t
What matters most is not the physical
And what you thought was once lost will be placed in your hand

Sometimes we’re up and sometimes we’re down
I see the sun coming up and I’m feeling the rays

I see life colorblind still
When your world's crashing down and there's no one around
I never thought that I would see this day
Had a man who came up to my window and
Who never even noticed the depth of the scars
And gotta press on, press on
But I promise that the day will come when you win
We got a lot
We got a lot in common

You and me both one of a kind
Sometimes the world goes round and round
I could tell by his eyes he's been

We got a lot in common
Blazing ahead
And every friend that I had turned and walked away
And we don’t stop to think that
What matters most is not the physical
And what I said next vexed my heart but nonetheless
Sometimes the world goes round and round
Sometimes the world goes round and round
So bear with us and let me hear the chorus again
We gotta keep on, keep on
What matters most is not the physical
Through all the low times, nowhere to go times

'You’re my son just pray'
We got a lot in common
Sometimes we’re up and sometimes we’re down
A slave to solitude, handcuffed by people’s claws
Sometimes we have it, sometimes we don’t
What matters most is not the physical

Just look inside your soul 'cause
Admitted that I was wrong, committed to do my best
Don’t you worry we can make it if we just realize
Yo, I can tell in your vision that you can't no more
I breathe easy, believe me my soul’s at rest
My heart believes in what he could be

Sometimes the world goes round and round
We all look the same inside, get together and come alive

We got a lot in common
Sometimes we have it, sometimes we don’t
Your shirt is stained by the tears that nobody ever saw
We got a lot in common
Just look inside your soul 'cause
'Cause you never knew what love looked like to begin
Just look inside your soul 'cause
Sometimes we’re up and sometimes we’re down
When I was a little lost and only trying to get paid
