We Are the Same

Words and Music by Brian Griffin (3-25-09)

You think you are so different from me
And that we’ll never get along
Too much has come between us
It’s been this way for way too long
Your mind is set and made up
In your head these truths remain
Please take another look and you’ll see that
We are the same

We are the same -When we stare at the stars in the sky
We are the same – as we watch the birds soar and fly
We are the same – Despite all that you wish to change-
We are the same

You can’t believe what I’m saying
You don’t want to hear me at all
Well I’m not here to condemn you
I don’t want to watch you fall
Just take the time and notice
and get past all your hate
and open your mind up to the thought that
We are the same

We are the same – When we hear the wind blow through the trees
We are the same – part of nature’s sweet symphony
We are the same – it’s in the rhythm of the rain
We are the same

You want to deny the simple facts and keep going on your way
But take a moment and look deep in your heart and you’ll find-
We are the same, we are the same, we are the same (repeat 4 times)

We are the same – When we see a baby smile
We are the same – see the joy in the eyes of a child
We are the same – When you take away all the hate and pain
And all the negative thoughts that remain-
I’ll forever sing this refrain-
We are the same
We are the same now
We are the same
we are the same
We are the same-we’re here at this time
This is our moment, our fates entwined
We are the same
We are the same, yeah
We are the same
We are the same-can’t you see
WE ARE THE SAME
