The Common Denominator

What makes it better

What makes it worse

These vital feelings

We may not coerce

–

Pushing them in

Pulling them out

Will do us no good

If we are living like we should

–

Shall I wonder under a rock

Beneath feet pounding

Or center myself on ground

With my heart pounding

–

I am here for you

And you for me

That is why

We cannot let it be

–

Growth can occur

From one solid root

Life will burst

Into something beautiful bold

–

Your hand I hold

As we cry

Waiting for the storm

To blow by

–

These are not easy times

But they make us real

Through the fire burning

Born is true steel

–

I will be here now

And will be here later

Love will pick you up

It’s the common denominator

–

Love will push

Love will pull

Love will bring us back

Fill our hearts full

–

We live through great moments

We survive the bad

But at the end of any day

The good fights been had

–

I wish to say this

So that all can understand

You are my lady

And I am your man
