Michael Kahn

Side By Side

It’s been going on now

For as long as I’ve had life

Your blood is red and so is ours

We both fear the blade of the knife

 

But there’s another way another road

And I shout it in the dead of the night

Can nothing nothing set this right?

 

יש מקום לשנינו

יש מקום לכל אחד

יש מקום לשנינו

אם נלך צד בצד

צד בצד

 

(There’s room for both of us

There’s room for everyone

There’s room for both of us

If we walk side by side

Side by side)

 

My father came here from another place

Your father worked the land

We both were worried about our space

We both drew a line in the sand

 

But there’s another way another path

And I scream it in the dark of the night

Can nothing nothing set this right?

 

Chorus

 

I knew this day would have to come

I knew my family would pay a price

You see it from your side and I from mine

We both know we are right

 

But there’s another way I scream at you

As I hold my brother’s body tight

Can nothing nothing set this right?

 

Chorus
