Same Blood (Different Vein)
--words and music by Michael Stanley

I used to watch you sleeping 
And I'd wonder what you'd be
A beauty like your mother
Or maybe more like me
A dreamer who can't find the sense
To come out of the rain
Same blood, different vein ...

Relentless contradictions
Are never far behind
A gift you never asked for 
From some forgotten time
A legacy of wonder, 
Of sorrow, joy and pain
Same blood, different vein ...

	May you all remain in the light
	May you find some peace tonight 
	May you always rise above
	And hold on to the ones you love
	And until the end of time
	I am yours and you are mine
	Same blood, different vein ...

So take what you have gathered
And reap what you have sown
Along your winding journey
And pay back what you owe
And watch them as you realize
It all comes round again
Same blood, different vein ...

	May you all remain in the light
	May you find some peace tonight 
	May you always rise above
	And hold on to the ones you love
	And until the end of time
	I am yours and you are mine
	Same blood, different vein ...
