MEET ME HERE/TWO OF A KIND
by Eric Law, HappyRon, and  more 

I want you to see me
& you want to be seen
I guess that makes us two of a kind
You speak freely
 & I say what I mean
I guess that makes us two of a kind

See me here, meet me here, we'll speak free and fully without fear 
OR (we'll speak, hear and live without fear)

You want me to listen
& I want to be heard
I guess that makes us two of a kind
I know your story (position)
Is much more than your words
I guess that makes us two of a kind

See me here, meet me here, we'll speak free and fully without fear

We both can’t be wrong now                                     
Then we both think we’re right                              
I guess that makes us two of a kind              
We, Braver Angels                                                     
Choose to stand in the light                                       
I guess that makes us two of a kind                       

See me here, meet me here, we'll speak free and fully without fear
See me here, meet me here, we'll HEAR free and fully without fear
See me here, meet me here, we'll LIVE free and fully without fear

We'll live free and fully without fear 


ALTERNATIVE 3RD VERSE 
We’ll meet in the middle and we’ll
both go half-way
I guess that makes us two of a kind
Come Braver Angels
 let’s laugh and say
I guess that makes us two of a kind!

ALTERNATIVE VERSION:

[All, suggestions for revising the verses to (a) eliminate some of the redundancy of using the phrase “two of a kind” twice in each verse; and (b) eliminating the “hesitancy” of being surprised that we have such commonality]

You speak freely
& I say what I mean
We both like to speak our minds
I want you to see me         
& you want to be seen
You know that makes us two of a kind

I know your story
Is much more than words
A whole life laid on the line
You want me to listen
& I want to be heard
Sounds like we’re two of a kind

We’ll meet in the middle 
and we’ll both go half-way
In search of a compromise
Come Braver Angels
laugh and say
That makes us two of a kind!
