Prince — The Same December

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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." [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Let's go
