A song about shared humanity, performed by Ava with Lori McKenna. Written by Lori McKenna and Luke Laird.
We're all kids standing out in the front yard
Like watching daddy's car pull up into the drive
Kicking our legs under the table
Asking for one more kiss before bedtime
We're all teenagers under the bleachers
Waiting on a toke that we're too scared to take
Cursing our parents and cursing our homework
And praying this year the team makes it to state
We all bleed, we all cry, we all breathe, we all die
And we all fight for something to believe in
Black and white and every color between them
All we really want is love anyway
And somewhere deep inside us
Ain't we all just the same?
We're all saying "tomato, tomato"
Like it changes the way that it tastes
Cat people, dog people want the same thing
Someone who knows that we're crazy and loves us anyway
We all bleed, we all cry, we all breathe, we all die
And we all fight for something to believe in
Black and white and every color between them
All we really want is love anyway
And somewhere deep inside us
Ain't we all just the same?
All just the same, mm
Well, we're all falling short of perfection
Placing trust in the things that we own
Take a second, see past our reflection
Don't forget we all reap what we sow
We all bleed, we all cry, we all breathe, we all die
And we all fight for something to believe in
Black and white and every color between them
We're only human but we're made in God's image
All we really want is love anyway
And somewhere deep inside us
In the place where we all shine best
We're all just the same
All just the same
We're all just the same
