lyrics

Your father and my father both fought in the war
They came from different tribes they came from different shores
They believed in god and country, family and pride
They swore they would protect us from the other side

Your father and my father have stories they could tell
About the burden of a soldier to survive a living hell
After what they've seen and what they've done they both feel justified
To swear they will protect us from the other side

From generation to generation we are told how it was when
Fear found evil in good and decent men
We are living in a world of wealth and wisdom wonders without end
If we can't make peace now then when

Your father and my father worked hard, they made plans
Everything the dreamed us has been placed into our hands
Let's honor and respect them, swear upon our lives
That we will never, ever be each other's other side
