Common Ground

Love is our common ground
Love has no limits
Love has no bounds
Love is our common ground
I've lived down in a valley
You live on that mountain above
And although we live in different places
The common ground we share is love
Oh
Love is our common ground
Love is our common ground
Love has no limits
Love has no bounds
Love is our common ground
If we met as total strangers
And if we came from different lands
And if we didn't speak the same language
Love's one thing we both would understand
Because love is our common ground
Love is our common ground
Love has no limits
Love has no bounds
Love is our common ground
Oh oh
Love is our common ground
Love is our common ground
Love has no limits
Love has no bounds
Love is our common ground
Oh oh
Love is our common ground
Love is our common ground
Love has no limits
Love has no bounds
Love is our common ground
