Best-selling choral composer Jacob Narverud beautifully sets an inspiring text by poet Robert Bode in this new secular work for SATB choirs (no divisi). With a steady, supportive piano accompaniment and moderate vocal ranges, the piece is highly accessible for choirs of all sizes and skill levels.

Common Ground

We walk together up this hill --
The path ahead is long --
We climb to meet the life beyond,
To the future, bright with song.

We will climb with those who came before,
We walk on common ground;
We will listen, comfort, dream and inspire,
We walk on common ground.

You’ll be my guide and I’ll be yours,
For we are trav’lers all,
I’ll walk with you and take your hand
And lift you when you fall.

We will climb with those who came before,
We walk on common ground;
We will listen, comfort, dream and inspire,
We walk on common ground.

For the path we take,
The way up the hill,
Is the same for me and for you:
I know what you carry,
I know what you hold,
And I will carry it, too.
We’re explorers, climbers, seekers all,
We walk on common ground;
We will listen, comfort, dream and inspire,
We walk on common ground.

Robert Bode
