The Same December - Prince

Once was this ball

With a line straight down the middle

One side was black and the other one white

And they both understood so little

That they spent their whole lives trying to tell each other what time it was

And all along it did not matter what either said

Because, because

You only know what you know

You only see what your heart will show

You only love when your soul remembers

We all come from the same December

And in the end, that’s where we’ll go

So let’s go

Once was a golden idol that went to the winners

Needless to say it didn’t make 'em feel any less a sinner

'Cause the very next morning, the whole damn world was the same, yes it was

The idol’s still shining, but the voice inside, it said

«There ain’t no winners in this game.»

You only know what you know

You only see what your heart will show

You only love when your soul remembers

We all come from the same December

And in the end, that’s where we’ll go

So let’s go

There once was an angel

Who most certainly watched over me

But if it got me through the day

Is it crazy?

Yeah, I’ll be crazy

Until the demons fall as far as anyone can fall

When they reap what they done sowed, I’ll be standing tall

We spend our whole lives trying to dog the other man

When what we need to do is try to give him all we can

You only know what you know, and uh

You only see what your heart will show, and uh

You only love when your soul remembers

We all come from the same December

And in the end, that’s where we’ll go

So let’s go

Let’s go
