Flesh and Blood

Another man down another wounded faithful soldier in your war

Another son and daughter wandering lost

A refugee so young and small

I paint the grass to make it green

Colour the sky to keep it blue

Can you set fire to the sun

It’s all she wants from you

You may sail above the waves

Hold your head up in the flood

You may celebrate my pain

But you will never take my flesh and blood

I’m every night the sound of laughter

The sound of music from her soul

Resounding hymns of father daughter love

Those sacred words of old

You may sail above the waves

Hold your head up in the flood

You may celebrate my pain

But you will never take my flesh and blood

Her beating heart

Your beating drum

On the battle ground

This day will come

This flesh and blood

Your flesh and blood

My flesh and blood

Endures beyond

You may sail above the waves

Hold your head up in the flood

You may celebrate my pain

But you will never take my flesh and blood
