The Same December Songtext

von 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 tryin' 2 tell each other what time it was
When all along it did not matter what either said because, because

CHORUS:
U only know what U know
U only see what your heart will show
U 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!

Ooh yeah, oh yeah

There once was a golden idol that went 2 the winners
Needless 2 say it didn't make 'em feel any less a sinner
Cuz the very next mornin' the whole damn world was the same
Yes it was
The idol still shinin', but the voice inside it said
"There ain't no winners in this game"

CHORUS

Hey!

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 standin' tall
We spend our whole lives tryin' 2 dog the other man
When what we need 2 do is try 2 give him all we can

But uh.. U only know what U know
And uh.. U only see what your heart'll show
And uh.. U 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
