Uncommon Ground

Wheres the common ground You remember That ground we both stood on together Through thick and thin Whether lose or win We were both all in Sink or swim Or stretched too thin We boldly took a stand Walked hand in hand Claimed our land And feared no man Whether in the fire or frying pan We stuck to the plan Did the best we can But look now How far youve wandered My tender heart now laundered Our happiness squandered For a moment of bliss From a strangers kiss Tossing to the winds the true love you missed Left with shattered memories to remeniss Wondering how you could do this. But i wont write letters Nor will i phone Ill just bow out gracefully on my own Sit quiety destroyed but never let it be shown How much it hurts to be alone Holding back tears and inner groans Until comes the day I finally wear a smile Thru all the painfull lonely miles Maybe its been destiny all this while And perhaps to learn from all these trial So God can lead me to truly smile. And put uncommon ground in a far away file.
