Midnight Oil - Blosson & Blood Lyrics
You the mothers who sent your sonsWipe away your tearsFor those who fought and those who fellBecome our sons as well.You the warriors with your wordsThrow away your spearsYou talk of times of peace for allAnd then prepare for war.All the people with dreams, all mothers with sonsAll people with dreams never woken at night by the sound of guns.Like a child thats born on a moonless nightLike a child thats born, we parachute down to an unknown fight.This city of blossom and bloodThis city suffered more than it shouldThese sidewalk silhouettes not washed away, not washed away.Whatever youve done, whatever youve done, whatever youve done.Theres a hope in the heart says never again.Whatever you say, whatever you say, whatever you sayIts the price of peace to remember that day.
