when the colors of the rainbow fall in line with the sun and the water on the pavement has nowhere to run they are two but the same they re the remnants of the rain the storm is gone the storm is gone when the lights in the city flicker on along the street and the stars in the country shine like diamonds on her feet they are two but the same oh the sun is gone again the nights is here the night is here there s darkness and light uh huh there s wrong and right but the common ties that bind are stronger than the lines we draw when nothing in your life seems to fall into place and a stranger finds the beauty in every single face they are two but the same oh there s no one to blame just let it be let it be there s darkness and light uh huh there s wrong and right but the common ties that bind are stronger than the lines we draw when a man finds his peace and he draws his last breath and a mother holds a baby for the first time to her breast they are two but the same oh the life goes on again oh it begins oh it ends there s darkness and light uh huh there s wrong and right but the common ties that bind are stronger than the lines we draw
