Apples Apples

Now say I, I

Don’t want, Don’t want

Your enemies, Your enemies

Your enemies, Your enemies

Now say I, I

Don’t want, Don’t want

Your enemies, Your enemies

Your enemies, Your enemies

Your enemies

Where has our conscience gone

Can you hear that constant moan

From the families trapped in homes

Too afraid to go outside

Can it be we’re not alone

There’s a voice down deep within

When our skin is all we own

Now tell me where will you live then

When the house is a battlefield

And the ones we are meant to trust

Destroy our only peace

Now Father please come look at us

How are we supposed to feel

If we don’t know what’s real

A child’s born with an open wound

No human being could ever heal

And still we ignore the sirens

We turn to political science

Till our ears run silent

And we retaliate in violence

And now that everyone is hurting

You would think we could relate

But no we just keep burning

As our hate begets more hate

Now say I, I

Don’t want, Don’t want

Your enemies, Your enemies

Your enemies, Your enemies

Now say I, I

Don’t want, Don’t want

Your enemies, Your enemies

Your enemies, Your enemies

Your enemies

I am not an object

I’m not something to be used

And no I’m not your science project

See I’ve got the will to choose

And at the center of non-violence

Lie the principles of love

I’ve got the choice to be a tyrant

Or to be what I once was

Before the fall of Adam

When my atoms were combined

I would reflect the only Image

That I knew to be divine

If I'm created with a purpose

Well that purpose is to serve

And stand on the side of justice

So that life may be preserved

We all feel we might need something

There must be more to life then this

I use to fear I could do nothing

But now I know it starts with this

We may not know it when we are trapped

But we will know it when we’re free

We’ll come to see there is no difference

Between friends and enemies

Now say I, I

Don’t want, Don’t want

Your enemies, Your enemies

Your enemies, Your enemies

Now say I, I

Don’t want, Don’t want

Your enemies, Your enemies

Your enemies, Your enemies

Your enemies
