This is a song I wrote in honor of (former) children I met when teaching in New York, among others.

Lyrics:

Had to laugh at the sight of a twinkling star
and the winking of any eye
A person's life can be near or far
like a ship that's sailing by
And little shoots become tall oaks
with roots that are profound
It's good to laugh with you again
standing on common ground.

The truth is not what you never saw
not a dream world in the sun
It's not some state you're reaching for
or a battle few have won
Not a search for what we have
or haven't clearly found
It's just a place where we have been
standing on common ground.

It's a song on the wing and a bird in the air
and a teardrop in your eye
It's a friend to care and a friend to dare
and a mountain rising high
It's an anger that is greater
than thunder's roaring sound
And it's sooner now than later
we're standing on common ground.

I'll take it to the seashore,
take it to the country too
I'll take it anywhere it goes
but it's going straight to you
Rising from the city streets
where many hearts resound
And people dance to different beats
here on common ground.
