Speak of love in a warm embrace
Speak of hope in a smiling face
Speak of peace in the stars up there
Speak of faith in a silent prayer
But when I'm speaking to you
and you're speaking to me
things get complicated
When you're speaking to me
and I'm speaking to you
voices are isolated
Words just push the air around
Gotta find some common ground
in the space between us
Speak of fear that has no name
Speak of hate that seeks to blame
Speak of pain behind each wall
Speak of death that touches us all
But when I'm speaking to you
and you're speaking to me
There's so much frustration
When you're speaking to me
and I'm speaking to you
No communication
Words of fear and words of rage
Break the bars of this cage
in the space between us
But when I'm speaking to you
and you're speaking to me
things get complicated
When you're speaking to me
and I'm speaking to you
voices are isolated
Words just push the air around
Gotta find some common ground
in the space between us
