Lyrics
Same End Of The Rope
c. Glen King & Wendy Becker
1st. Verse:
Don't need a crystal ball to see the future
Tomorrow's like today, seems pretty clear
If we keep waiting for a savior to help us unite
And, make our troubles disappear
Ain't gonna happen
Divided we won't stand
Till we stop and realize
We need to join our hands:
Chorus:
We gotta pull on
The Same End Of The Rope
If we trust in each other and hope
The past will pass
And, the walls will break and fall
If we all pull
On The Same End Of The Rope.
2nd. Verse:
Sometimes,
The search for peace seems like a mountain
Rising up too high for us to climb
So, we keep looking for a hero
To show us the way
That makes it easier to find
Ain't gonna happen
No one's knocking on the door
If we don't do it together
We're playing tug-o-war:
Chorus: repeat
Bridge:
Imagine how the moon
Can move the tide
And, you'll feel the power
When we're standing side by side:
Chorus: Repeat.
