Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I set your boots beside the door
Mud still dry along the seams
Your photograph above the stove
Watches over what we’ve lost
The news talks low in every room
Names that vanish in a scroll
But every name is someone’s sky
Falling hard on someone’s home
[Chorus]
War leaves ashes on the threshold
Burns the colors from our days
Different flags and different stories
Same tears washing down our face
If your mother weeps like my mother
How could we ever be enemies?
Lay the hatred in the ground now
Let our children grow in peace
[Verse 2]
A broken schoolyard swing still creaks
Over dust and scattered glass
Little hands draw houses
Trees
Where they last saw sunlight pass
Old men trading stories soft
Of the years before the guns
How they argued
Laughed
And loved
Under just one quiet sun
[Chorus]
War leaves ashes on the threshold
Burns the colors from our days
Different flags and different stories
Same tears washing down our face
If your mother weeps like my mother
How could we ever be enemies?
Lay the hatred in the ground now
Let our children grow in peace
[Bridge]
What if we listened
Before we fired?
What if we healed
What we inherited tired?
I don’t want victory
Built on broken hearts
I just want mercy
To be where it starts (oh, let it start)
[Chorus]
War leaves ashes on the threshold
But we can open up the door
Let forgiveness cross the distance
Where our fathers clung to war
If your brother bleeds like my brother
How could we ever be enemies?
Drop the rifles from our breathing
Raise our hands and plant the seeds
[Outro]
Different dreams
The same deep longing
For a night of quiet sleep
I will stand here
You beside me
Till our promise turns to peace

Style
Slow, spacious orchestral soul ballad with male vocals; soft piano and warm upright bass cradle an intimate first verse, then strings swell gently under a soaring chorus. Subtle gospel choir joins on hooks, brushed drums and distant toms pulse like a tired heartbeat. Final chorus strips back to near a cappella with hushed harmonies, then ends on a long, resolving chord that feels like a deep exhale., soul
