One Name

A man opens his eyes under the bridge

Where he's been sleeping

To keep himself from weeping

He gets up and goes on his way

A woman late for work crosses his path

And barely misses

She curses his existence

Leans on the horn and goes on her way

Living worlds apart

What could they ever have in common?

Started life with so much promise

Different choices on the way

Feeling desolate and distant

Losing hope with every instant

If there's happiness, they've missed it

In this endless game

We are of one name, one name

We are of one name

We want the same things

We need the same things

We are of one name, one name

We are of one name

We want the same things

Same things

A father near the end

Wishes he'd been there for his children

He prays that they'll forgive him

But the words are still hard to say

His daughter feel regret

For choosing work over a family

She wanted one so badly

For very choice there's a price to pay

Grown so far apart

They should have everything in common

Started out with so much promise

Different choices on the way

She just needed his attention

He had no time for affection

Now they're struggling for redemption

Knowing they're to blame

We are of one name

We are of one name

We are of one name

We want the same things

Same things
