Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song with a high school friend. We had just started a band, and this song was in some ways our anthem. It's about our desire to find success in music . . . hopes and dreams.

Lyrics
"A Common Place"
(c) 1995 David Jennings, Adam Street
The times have faded from my mind
No painful memories to find
We're standing next to a brand new day
With nothing standing in our way
Though the road seems long
And the chances gone
Take your heart and we'll start today
Sometimes, when you leave a common place
In your sight, no familiar place to stand
I know, when you leave a common place
There's a goal, and a friend to hold your hand
The life before us is left unseen
No need to plan, we'll let it be
We've come too far for it all to end
So now our dreams can begin
Through another view
We can face the truth
And find the strength we need to win
Sometimes, when you leave a common place
In your sight, no familiar place to stand
I know, when you leave a common place
There's a goal, and a friend to hold your hand
Trust in me
Believe that we can solve
All the problems
Trust in me
Lord knows I trust in you
We can make it if we try again
Sometimes, when you leave a common place
In your sight, no familiar place to stand
I know, when you leave a common place
There's a goal and a friend to hold your hand
