Lyrics to Divided We Fall
Blood was spilled, on this ground
By those who fought, the English crown
Founding Fathers, by decree
By candlelight, they made us free
Strokes of pens & firing guns
By morning’s light, this they had won
Many scars & generations down
We’ve lost sight of common ground….. We’ve lost sight of common ground
The ground shakes, beneath our feet
Forgetting what the blood had bought
The winds of change, are blowing
United we stand, divided we fall
Floods fires sickness pain
Many facing deadly things
When we’re dying, we’re all the same
Like feathered angels with broken wings
My blood is red just like yours
Divisions lead to closing doors
My heart beats, yours does the same
None of us can hide from pain……. None of us can hide from pain
The ground shakes, beneath our feet
Forgetting what the blood had cost
The fires of hatred burning
United we stand, divided we fall….. United we stand, divided we fall
