Brothers In Arms
(On the Opposite Sides)
When you cry i'll come running/
down where the lilies bloom/
beneath the willow tree,/
a farmer's field/ of war and peace/
echoing vacant sound,/ pain, pain go away./
Big brother/ you are in my blood/
the flower of the nations youth,/
when the Bugles called/
opposites join the opposites/
family torn apart,/
the fusillading of a freedom fighter/
stepping through time/
under bridges and out of mind./
Another soldier died today/
unanswered questions/
the battle between body and spirit,/
war will get it's due./
