Sometimes I think you hesitate
To say the way you really feel
Like there’s no way that I could understand
Where you are coming from
But if we could tear down these walls of bricks
And mortar built with fear
I think we’d be surprised
To find how small our differences become
We’re all in the same boat
Sailing on the same old stormy sea
If you look real close
You’ll find you’re a lot like me
We carry different burdens
And wе’re wearing differеnt battle scars
If we both had our own way
We would bury them forever
They give us different stories
How we came to be the way we are
Redemption is the common thread
That binds them all together
We’re all in the same boat
Sailing on the same old stormy sea
If you look real close
You’ll find you’re a lot like me
Something about being vulnerable
Makes us think we’re setting ourselves up for pain
But you won’t find judgment in these listening ears
This is a safe place
So sit down for a minute
And tell me what’s been going on
We’re all in the same boat
Sailing on the same old stormy sea
If you look real close
You’ll find you’re a lot like me
To say the way you really feel
Like there’s no way that I could understand
Where you are coming from
But if we could tear down these walls of bricks
And mortar built with fear
I think we’d be surprised
To find how small our differences become
We’re all in the same boat
Sailing on the same old stormy sea
If you look real close
You’ll find you’re a lot like me
We carry different burdens
And wе’re wearing differеnt battle scars
If we both had our own way
We would bury them forever
They give us different stories
How we came to be the way we are
Redemption is the common thread
That binds them all together
We’re all in the same boat
Sailing on the same old stormy sea
If you look real close
You’ll find you’re a lot like me
Something about being vulnerable
Makes us think we’re setting ourselves up for pain
But you won’t find judgment in these listening ears
This is a safe place
So sit down for a minute
And tell me what’s been going on
We’re all in the same boat
Sailing on the same old stormy sea
If you look real close
You’ll find you’re a lot like me
