A Lot Like Me

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 we’re wearing different 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
