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
