We were warriors, once
Stepping back over love’s creation
Raising our swords with anticipation
We defended the notion of separation
We were warriors, once
Burning the sea into a boil
Bleeding our pain down through the soil
And we prided ourselves for withstanding toil
Our hair turned white and our eyes turned grey
Could there be another way?
We are warriors, now
Moved the battlefield to our souls
Lost and lonely is all we know
And we pray for salvation but we’re getting old
We are warriors, now
Can’t stop our wartorn arms from killin
Can’t build a better world for our children
And we cry every day but we won’t admit it
Our hair is white and our eyes are grey
Could there be another way?
We were warriors, once
We are warriors, now
And we’ll be warriors still if our love keeps on hiding
We’ll be warriors still while the earth keeps subsiding
We’ll be warriors still and we’ll still be fighting
