[Verse 1]
You took the stairs
I took the fall
You heard the call
I heard the orders
You ran to fire in a homemade suit
I woke up wired
Carrying borders
You had a compass and a crumpled note
I had a number burned in my head
You learned your courage in alleys and mud
I learned obedience in rooms painted red
[Chorus]
Two roads
One shield
Same war
Same field
You held on to your name
I forgot mine
All the same
Different scars
Same hands
Trying hard to understand
How the boy and the weapon
Walk the same line back again
[Verse 2]
You chased the future
I lost the years
You kept your friends
I kept my fears
You fought for something you chose to believe
I fought for ghosts I could never leave
Your heart kept beating in black and white
Mine got buried in coded files
You broke the chains in the open sky
I broke them slowly
Mile by mile
[Chorus]
Two roads
One shield
Same war
Same field
You held on to your name
I forgot mine
All the same
Different scars
Same hands
Trying hard to understand
How the boy and the weapon
Walk the same line back again
[Bridge]
Are we brothers
Or are we proof
That the same small seed
Finds a different truth
You saved the world
I survived the fall
But under all this metal
I still hear you call (Bucky…)
[Chorus]
Two roads
One shield
Same war
Same field
You held on to your name
I took it back through the flame
Different scars
Same hands
Standing where the story began
Just a boy and his best friend
On the same side in the end
