[ti:I Remember (It's Happening Again)] [ar:Griffin House] [al:Flying Upside Down] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]I Remember (It's Happening Again) - Griffin House [00:20.53]Well my grandpa fought in world war 2 my uncle fought in Nam [00:24.84] [00:25.64]My father was too young he went to school and met my mom [00:29.95] [00:30.67]And her dad always told us stories around dinner time [00:35.40]And there's one he told when I was young that sticks out in my mind [00:39.74] [00:40.45]He said 10 years after daddy taught me about the birds and bees [00:45.42]I was stranded in pearl harbor fighting off the Japanese [00:50.18] [00:50.79]When the kamikaze pilots came and dove in without warning [00:55.00] [00:55.57]I was on the Arizona on a warm December morning [01:00.69]I remember when I was a younger man [01:05.22] [01:06.98]We were solders fighting in a foreign land [01:11.87] [01:13.27]Now I'm older and its happening again [01:19.45] [01:23.93]It was hard to have forgiveness for the things they did that day [01:28.39]And our president decided we should make their people pay [01:33.10] [01:33.69]So we dropped on Nagasaki and we cut them down to size [01:38.71]And the one we dropped on Hiroshima left them vaporized [01:43.62]And I heard some Christians say [01:45.66] [01:46.74]What would Jesus do [01:48.19] [01:48.74]What if you were on the wrong side [01:51.20]Would he point the gun at you [01:53.26] [01:53.90]And they read through every word of Matthew mark and Luke and john [01:58.45] [01:58.97]So they could see if killing was the side that Christ was on [02:03.20] [02:03.77]I remember when I was a younger man [02:08.69] [02:10.12]We were solders fighting in a foreign land [02:15.27] [02:16.43]Now I'm older and its happening again [02:22.56] [02:27.00]And they separate the church and state and keep God out of schools [02:31.63]So our governments can educate based upon their rules [02:36.30] [02:36.82]But people start to wonder if our politics make sense [02:41.75]When religion is our best excuse for national defense [02:46.50]And when our citizens start saying that our wars are not okay [02:51.35] [02:52.23]And Washington keeps telling them God loves the USA [02:56.45] [02:57.13]And they teach us history so we can learn from our mistakes [03:01.76]And this generation wants to know how many years it takes [03:06.72] [03:07.46]To change the way we treat our neighbors all across the land [03:11.48] [03:12.04]Cause if we don't change our hearts we repeat the past again [03:17.04]I remember when I was a younger man [03:22.24] [03:23.30]We were soldiers fighting in a foreign land [03:28.67] [03:29.68]Now we're older and its happening again [03:35.98] [04:00.33]When my grandpa finished talking we went walking he and I [04:04.74] [04:05.31]I was thinking of the future and how scared I was to die [04:10.40]Now my best friends overseas in the desert where its dry [04:14.91] [04:15.68]Fighting for our country and I need a reason why [04:21.00] [04:22.55]I remember when he was a younger man [04:28.83] [04:29.57]Now hes a soldier fighting in a foreign land [04:35.76] [04:37.19]Now were older God bring him home again
