Sacred Tree Lyrics

The city used to look so pretty

Light shines but it's still gritty

We ignore and pass on by

The nameless on the side

Chaos and disorder

Darkness rolls through naked borders

We neglect a child's cry

We tell them everything's alright

We keep listening to lies

Designed to deepen the divide

If it were up to me

We'd remember who we are

It should come as no surprise

That hate is on the rise

If up to me

We'd all be listening

But we don't know the difference

Can't see with our own eyes

Like sturdy branches

From the same sacred tree

That's how we'd be

If it were up to me

We watch our sons and daughters

Drown in opium waters

We pray for their sins

But the needle always wins

We let them much our Creator

We ridicule our neighbor

We reject His reality

We worship idols on TV

We've been fooled into picking sides

We must decide

To comply or deny

If it were up to me

We'd remember who we are

It comes as no surprise

That hate is on the rise

If up to me

We'd all be listening

But we don't know the difference

Can't see with our own eyes

Like sturdy branches

From the same sacred tree

That's how we'd be

If it were up to me
