Ant Clemons, D Smoke - Common Sense

Текст песни

If we turned off the news, and we turned our tongues
We would hear what Marvin said, and we’d see what’s goin' on (On, on, on)
If we changed point of views, maybe then we could save a heart
If we had common sense, we could fix what’s goin' on
What if I hurt when my brother hurt? (Hurt)
What if I cry when my mother cry? (Cry)
What if I showed you heaven on earth?
Would you believe in paradise?
But if we changed our perspectives? (Ooh)
What if we changed our perspectives? (Ooh)
But if we switched our perspectives?
Would you believe in paradise, 'dise?
Dice don’t always roll the way you want 'em to
You played that cards you was dealt with
Been a star before they noticed you
Switch your perspective, you would
Never leave this paradise
But if we changed our perspectives? (Ooh)
What if we changed our perspectives? (Ooh)
But if we switched our perspectives?
Would you believe in paradise?
If we turned off the news, and we turned our tongues
If we had common sense, we could fix what’s goin' on (Yeah)
Ooh, heaven, ooh
You trigger my nerves and tickle my fancy, what if true brethren knew?
That we got more alike than the stars at night and the blue heaven hue
Seen more than a few miracles
Was made in His image so you’re my reflection, guess you’re my true mirror’s
view
Now what if I looked at you and saw myself?
What would I call myself?
Evidence of an intelligent maker, I may look at God myself
If I could see my truth right through your pair of eyes
Perhaps I’d believe in that true paradise
What if I hurt when my brother hurt? (Hurt)
What if I cry when my mother cry? (Cry)
What if I showed you heaven on earth?
Would you believe in paradise?
But if we changed our perspectives? (Ooh)
What if we changed our perspectives? (Ooh)
What if we switched our perspectives?
Would you believe in paradise? ('Dise)
If we turned off the news, and we turned our tongues
We would hear what Marvin said, and we’d see what’s goin' on
If we had common sense, we could fix what’s goin' on
