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
