Lyrics
Two men so far away,
Yet so close.
A man from the past,
A man of today.
Two men who fight,
For their people,
For their lives,
For their…
(Chorus)
What is life?
What is peace?
What is happiness?
These things that the men are fighting for.
What is hate?
What is anger?
What is war?
These things that the world just don’t need…
These men have risked their lives,
Going to the war zone,
And coming back to lead a normal life.
Who have seen things unimaginable,
And coming back,
To home,
And pretend nothing has happened…
(Chorus)
The Civil War…
The war in Iraq…
The only reason,
These wars are fought…
(Spoken)
“So far from engaging in a war to perpetuate slavery, I am rejoiced that Slavery is abolished. I believe it will be greatly for the interest of the South. So fully am I satisfied of this that I would have cheerfully lost all that I have lost by the war, and have suffered all that I have suffered to have this object attained.”
“Going to someplace and coming back to lead a normal life, going through a lot of changes from a soldier back to a civilian. I think that's resilient.”
(Chorus) x2
...
This song is about two men, Robert E. Lee and Kenny Harrison, about how they are connected and resilient. Robert E. Lee and Kenny Harrison are both connected to the Army. Robert E. Lee was a general in the civil war, and Kenny Harrison was a soldier in the Army Reserve. The song basically says what they were fighting for, what wars they were in and how they were resilient, like coming back home pretending nothing had happened, and how they are connected, both being in war zones. In any case they have both seen prisoners and destruction. They both had faced challenges and both were willing to come back home safe and sound.
