Fruit Trees

Lyrics

Why you tell me papa i can't walk outside today? The hill's land mines will steal your feet so darling please dont stray The man outside our window has a machine gun And its for keeping us in line so let's not go outside today ok? The gardens once were flowering now they've burned them to the ground We tried so hard to make our lives and save this little town But all the hils have gone to dust and there's no one to take care of us And now we're standing on this bus We gotta bring fruit trees to thе nations that are enemiеs Fruit trees to the lands that we destroyed Fruit trees we gotta rebuild a society Fruit trees from the roots that grow Fruit trees for the nations that are enemies Fruit trees to the lands that we destroyed Lemons and peaches, papayas and mangoes Fruit trees we gotta build it up, start with PEACE And over here across the world our hearts are gonna drown We've sent our sons and daughters out to march the world around And what they do we hardy know but the sorrows on their faces show This war has gone on far too long! We march the land of dusty hills and fight the "enemy" But the enemy is just a human person just ike me They only want their fields to grow the ancient trees they used to know And feed their children We gotta bring fruit trees to the nations that are enemies Fruit trees to the lands that we destroyed Fruit trees we gotta rebuild a society Fruit trees from the roots that grow Fruit trees for the nations that are enemies Fruit trees to the lands that we destroyed Lemons and peaches, papayas and mangoes Fruit trees we gotta build it up, start with PEACE
