Brother fighting brother,
In my homeland I spill blood,
Blue and Gray,
But always Red,
Boom Boom,
In my homeland,

North and South,
That’s how our table is divided too,
We can no longer sit down to eat,
Without bringing a gun or knife,
Boom Boom,
In my homeland,

Right or wrong it matters not,
Now it’s a matter of blood,
Mother,
Neighbor,
Family,
Friend,
Boom Boom,
In my homeland,

We are humans one and all,
The blood we spill is red,
Life is taken,
Life is lost,
Boom Boom,
In my homeland.
