Name: Common Ground
Duration: P00H04M28S
Description: Mosaic is an ancient form of art. It appeals to me for many reasons, the main one being that it is based on the concept of a whole being greater than the sum of its many parts. A mosaic is essentially comprised of many broken pieces, yet when viewed as a whole, it is is beautiful and complex.

lyrics

A case is argued
A point is made
An order’s given
Then disobeyed

As we struggle over details and differences

A verse is spoken
And people pray
Rules get broken
But who’s rules are they

And we argue over details and differences

Come on, come on, come on now
I’m looking for
Some common, common, common ground
Come on, come on, come on now

A deal is brokered
A treaty signed
Then war breaks out
Time after time

And there’s killing over details and differences
But the grand mosaic’s made up of broken bits and pieces

Come on, come on, come on now
I’m looking for
Some common, common, common ground
Come on, come on, come on now…

Agree to disagree
Though we all lose sight
Of the forest for the trees

A child is scolded
For being a child
Wildlife slaughtered
For running wild

And we argue over details and differences
Write songs about the details and our differences
But the grand mosaic’s made up of broken bits and pieces

Come on, come on, come on now…
