Long ago there was a weary time
Where people fought inside their homes
Their leaders said it was black and white
They were the friends and they were foes
But you can see
Looking back through history
It's never black and white
When people go to fight
There was a family put their sons to war
They hoped and prayed that they'd return
But all they got were letters on the door
A hopeless feeling sank the floor
And I wonder
Where would they be
And if you went back in history
What side would you be
Oh would you change the world even though you might fall
Or would you be the side that's lost through it all
Cause people run away like people
Just trying to be people
And walk the line like people
