Did you sing your children lullabies to calm their fears at night?
Did you hold them gently 'til they went to sleep?
Did you plant in them the seeds of hope for new and better lives?
Did you make them promises you couldn't keep?

And do you think of me as "Enemy" and could you call me "Friend"?
Or will we let our differences destroy us in the end?
The wall that stands between us could be a window too
When I look into the mirror, I see you

And do you have sons that fight for peace, the way I'm told mine do?
Do they send you photographs of foreign lands?
Do you chill to see the missiles, and do they haunt your dreams?
Do you wonder, "Who's the power; who's the hands?"

And do you think of me as "Enemy" and could you call me "Friend"?
Or will we let our differences destroy us in the end?
The wall that stands between us could be a window too
When I look into the mirror, I see you

Oh, may we live to see the day when walls of words and fear
No longer stand between the truth and dreams
The walls and windows rise into the darkness and we dare
To look into the mirror and see Peace

And do you think of me as "Enemy" and could you call me "Friend"?
Or will we let our differences destroy us in the end?
The wall that stands between us could be a window too
When I look into the mirror, I see you
