Am
[Verse 1]
AmYou, the mothers who sent your sons
AmWipe away your tears
AmFor those who fought and those who fell
AmBecome our sons as well
AmYou the warriors with your words
AmThrow away your spears
AmYou talk of times of peace for all
AmAnd then prepare for war
[Pre-Chorus]
All the Ampeople with dreams, all mothers with sons
AmAll people with dreams never woken at night by the sound of guns
AmLike a child that's born on a moonless night
AmLike a child that's born, we parachute down to an unknown fight
[Chorus]
DmThis city of Bbblossom and blood
C This city suffered Amore than it should
DmThese sidewalk Bbsilhouettes
Not Cwashed away, not Awashed away
DmThis city of Bbblossom and blood
C This city suffered Amore than it should
DmThese sidewalk Bbsilhouettes
Not Cwashed away, not Awashed away

AmWhatever you say, whatever you say, whatever you say
AmIt's the price of peace to remember that day
