[Mick Jagger:]
There was a calvary.
Down in new orleans.
And when the band would play.
Their feet went flying.
And underneath the ponds.
Bodies were swaying.
And in each other's arms.
Lovers were prayin.
You may the one for me.
Love is all around.
But what I've found I've been lookin for.
Searching for common ground.

[Joss Stone:]
Everybody come together hear this sound.
Open up your ears look at what we found.
Common ground
So gather round.
Don't matter if your white and a green or brown.
Every boy and every girl in every town.
Gather round
There's common ground.
