Midnight Oil - Blosson & Blood lyrics

You the mothers who sent your sons Wipe away your tears For those who fought and those who fell Become our sons as well You the warriors with your words Throw away your spears You talk of times of peace for all And then prepare for war All the people with dreams, all mothers with sons All people with dreams never woken at night by the sound of guns Like a child thats born on a moonless night Like a child thats born, we parachute down to an unknown fight This city of blossom and blood This city suffered more than it should These sidewalk silhouettes not washed away, not washed away This city of blossom and blood This city suffered more than it should These sidewalk silhouettes not washed away, not washed away You the mothers who sent your sons Wipe away your tears For those who fought and those who fell Become our sons as well You the warriors with your words Throw away your spears You talk of times of peace for all And then prepare for war Whatever you've done, whatever you think you've done Whatever you've done? Theres a hope in the heart says never again, never again Whatever you say, whatever you say It's the price of peace to remember that day This city of blossom and blood This city suffered more than it should These sidewalk silhouettes not washed away, not washed away This city of blossom and blood This city suffered more than it should These sidewalk silhouettes not washed away, not washed away You the mothers who sent your sons Wipe away your tears For those who fought and those who fell Become our sons as well This city of blossom and blood This city suffered more than it should These sidewalk silhouettes not washed away, not washed away This city of blossom and blood This city suffered more than it should These sidewalk silhouettes not washed away, not washed away This city of blossom and blood This city of blossom and blood
