Eric Folkerth - The Same Blood Lyrics

They're rattling their sabers
Stirring up our fear
Of the ones beyond our borders
Far away from here
They tell us we're in danger
That the enemy must fall
But after all their shouting
We still hear a different call
The same blood on the day we're born
And our mothers hear our cry
The same blood on the battlefield
When our children go to die
The same blood when we lift our prayers
To heaven up above
The same no matter who we hate
Or who we choose to love
We are red and blue states
We are straight and gay
Black and white and brown
Those born here and born away
The wedges cut so deeply
They almost split the root
But now and then we stop to see
There's a deeper truth
The same blood on the day we're born
And our mothers hear our cry
The same blood on the battlefield
When our children go to die
The same blood when we lift our prayers
To heaven up above
The same no matter who we hate
Or who we choose to love
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Now, we can cling to differences
That keep us all apart
Or choose to love the life that flows
Through every beating heart
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
The same blood on the day we're born
And our mothers hear our cry
The same blood on the battlefield
When our children go to die
The same blood when we lift our prayers
To heaven up above
The same no matter who we hate
Or who we choose to love
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
