“Father, father
We don't need to escalate.
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate.
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today.”

— Marvin Gaye

Variant: Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying.
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying.
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today.

“Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today.”

“Look here, father, you know we've each of us got our line. You know about sheep, and weather, and things; I know about dragons.”

Kenneth Grahame book The Reluctant Dragon

The Boy to his parents AMK SENİN
Dream Days (1898), The Reluctant Dragon
Context: Look here, father, you know we've each of us got our line. You know about sheep, and weather, and things; I know about dragons. I always said, you know, that that cave up there was a dragon-cave. I always said it must have belonged to a dragon some time, and ought to belong to a dragon now, if rules count for anything. Well, now you tell me it has got a dragon, and so that's all right. I'm not half as much surprised as when you told me it hadn't got a dragon. Rules always come right if you wait quietly.

“First of all, I can see that you love your daughter and you are a nice person who has a great future ahead of you and I hope your future is here…. This is not the focus…. And so, what we have to do is find a way to make sure that you can get right with the law and we've got to do this in a good way, so that the rug doesn't get pulled out from under you and your family gets separated…but if you're worried about, you know, some deportation force coming, knocking on your door this year, don't worry about that…. Secure the border and the people who are violent criminals, repeat offenders who keep coming back in, we've got to focus on that.”
