A World Away

Written 7-15-2009

Refrain:
a world away
and yet the same
we are like one big family
a world away
yet so familiar
we could be one family
yes we are one family

Verse 1:
you talk I listen we pause
I try to figure out
what you're trying to say
my tongue is tasting foreign words
comprehension is in doubt
as we stumble on our way
as we stumble on our way

Refrain.

Verse 2:
you watch as I try we smile
laughing at the way
my words sound
so much in common it's true
no matter where you stay
you're a common ground
you're a common ground

Refrain.

Verse 3:
you can notice the differences between us
or rejoice in what we share
the choice is yours
you can look at the dividing lines that separate us
walls around us everywhere
open the doors
yes open the doors

Refrain.
