Verse 1: Male

We packed the old worries in a cardboard box

Left them by the county line, behind the grain silo locks

Your hand found mine by the kitchen door

We don't have to carry that weight anymore

Verse 2: Female

I tied a blue ribbon around your sleeve

Said, "Come on, darling, there's a life to retrieve"

The porch boards creak and the neighbors cheer

We found a little courage waiting right here

Pre-Chorus: Both

No more counting every scar

No more asking who we are

Turn the page and take my hand

We'll make a better place to stand

Chorus: Both in harmony

Let that dirty war stay behind us
