Brothers of the Same Father

[Verse 1]
On two sides of a wounded sea
You light your candles
They light theirs
Different flags in the same cold wind
Same small hands saying the same prayers
Mothers counting every breath
Fathers staring at empty chairs
You call it honor
They call it fear
But every tear is the same tear
[Chorus]
We are brothers of the same father
Blood remembers what we forget
How many graves will it take to answer
How many names you still regret
The price of hate is always higher
Than laying every weapon down
Peace is heavy
War is heavier
Let the guns fall to the ground
[Verse 2]
You dream in Hebrew
They dream in Farsi
But in your sleep you both see fire
Sirens screaming over lullabies
Children learning the word “desire”
Not for vengeance
Just for normal days
Open markets
Open skies
Grandmothers telling one long story
Not two stories built on lies
[Chorus]
We are brothers of the same father
Blood remembers what we forget
How many graves will it take to answer
How many names you still regret
The price of hate is always higher
Than laying every weapon down
Peace is heavy
War is heavier
Let the guns fall to the ground
[Bridge]
[Music drops to piano and soft strings]
Count the rockets
Count the roses
Which one grows in broken stone
Count the borders
Count the bodies
Is any flag worth standing alone
You say “never”
They say “never”
But never has to end somewhere (oh)
Who will dare to be the first one
To say “come
Sit in this chair”
[Chorus]
We are brothers of the same father
Blood remembers what we forget
How many graves will it take to answer
How many names you still regret
The cost of war can drown a nation
The cost of peace
A humbled pride
Lay down anger
Lift each other
Two old brothers side by side
[Outro]
Same sky watching
Same earth holding
Every fallen daughter
Son
Write a future
On the same page
Let two peoples live as one

Stirring cinematic pop duet with male and female vocals, strings and piano at the center, deep toms building into powerful drums. Verses stay intimate with close-mic vocals and soft pads; chorus explodes with stacked harmonies, distant choirs, and wide reverb. Middle section strips back to just piano and two voices before a final soaring, key-lift chorus and long emotional outro., dramatic
