Speak of love in a warm embrace   Speak of hope in a smiling face   Speak of peace in the stars up there   Speak of faith in a silent prayer   But when I'm speaking to you   and you're speaking to me   things get complicated   When you're speaking to me   and I'm speaking to you   voices are isolated   Words just push the air around   Gotta find some common ground   in the space between us   Speak of fear that has no name   Speak of hate that seeks to blame   Speak of pain behind each wall   Speak of death that touches us all   But when I'm speaking to you   and you're speaking to me   There's so much frustration   When you're speaking to me   and I'm speaking to you   No communication   Words of fear and words of rage   Break the bars of this cage   in the space between us   But when I'm speaking to you   and you're speaking to me   things get complicated   When you're speaking to me   and I'm speaking to you   voices are isolated   Words just push the air around   Gotta find some common ground   in the space between us   Words By Steven Mayoff   Music By Melanie Doane And Creighton Doane  (P) 1998 Sony Music Entertainment (Canada) Inc.
