The Real Prize Is A Compromise

lyrics

The Real Prize is a Compromise


I am short – I am tall
But we’re good friends – It doesn’t matter at all

Chorus A
We don’t always see eyes to eyes
But the real prize is when we find a compromise

I am fast – I am slow
We’ll both make it – no matter how we go

Chorus A

I’m left-handed – I use my right
But that doesn’t matter – no need to fight

Chorus A

Chorus B
We may be different, but I don’t mind
A friend like you can be hard to find
Tell me what you like, and I just might
See some things in a different light
Open our ears and we just might
Find a compromise where we can unite!


Don’t listen to you – You don’t listen to me
Sounds like a problem – don’t you agree

Chorus A

I write poetry – I write prose
We can read each other’s – that’s what I propose

Chorus A

I play guitar - I play sitar
But we can still jam on NPR

Chorus A

Chorus B

I am yin – I am yang
But we can come back together – like a boomerang

Chorus A

Peanut butter jam – cheese and ham
They’re both sandwiches – check my Venn diagram

Chorus A

I like red – I like blue
We have different taste – but I still like you

Chorus A

Chorus B

I’m from here – I’m from there
We might be different - but I don’t care

Chorus A
