the basis of my life 
is the common thread 
that runs through my friends 
that's the common thread 
that gives us the strength 
to stand again 
after we have fallen 
that's the common thread 
that runs through my life 
that's the common thread 
that's the common thread 
that gives me sight 
the common thread 
that we are different 
that's a known fact 
that we will change 
no one can help that 
but there's one thing 
that brings me back 
the common thread
