Common Threads

Two hands
One heart
Together
Worlds apart
A starry night wish
A silent prayer
Abounding joy
Cries of despair

Open up your eyes
And you will see the ties
Of these common threads
They wind they weave they tenderly connect
They stitch up the seams that hold together humanity
It’s you and me

The story of love
The ravages of war
The need to belong
Asking what’s this all for
Vessels of faith
Diversity
Heartbreak and hope
All the voices sing

Open up your eyes
And you will see the ties
Of these common threads
They wind they weave they tenderly connect
They stitch up the seams that hold together humanity
It’s you and me

Mother to mother
Sister to brother
Father to father
We are under the covers

Of these common threads
They wind they weave they tenderly connect
They stitch up the seams that hold together humanity
These common threads
They wind they weave they tenderly connect
They stitch up the seams that hold together humanity
It’s you and me
You and me
It’s you and me
