New tree

Look around, no peace on the horizon
All I see is war hearin' 'bout rumours of war
Look around, where are the freedom fighters?
Only see corruption and hate in high and low places
What kind of fool gives a young boy a gun?
They put the fear of evil men in everyone
What should we do now so much tribulation
When there's more blood spillin' on the ground
Than raindrops fallin' from the clouds

You must, one by one put down your guns and go back now
To the green green grass of home, let a new seed grow
Day by day nourish ya roots, let your branches grow
Over the green green grass of home, let a new tree grow

Listen up, what are they really tellin' us?
Close your mind and make no fuss
They say they fight 'cause they know
Then one day we're left with just emptiness
All the bloodshed is meaningless, no end to our sorrows
What kind of hypocrisy uses technology?
Inventing more ways to destroy, ignoring humanity
What can we do now so much tribulation
When there's more blood spillin' on the ground
Than raindrops fallin' from the clouds

You must, one by one put down your guns and go back now
To the green green grass of home, let a new seed grow
Day by day nourish ya roots, let your branches grow
Over the green green grass of home, let a new tree grow

We got a problem and there is no easy fix
Politrix and greediness create a deadly mix
People point the finger plenty blame to go around
Innocent a suffer while nobody hears the sound
Violence in the ghetto we got children shootin' guns
America to Africa the Middle East and slums
People they are dyin' children hungry in the streets
Time to grow some trees put some coolness in the heat

Jah say now, one by one put down your guns and go back now
To the green green grass of home, let a new seed grow
Day by day nourish ya roots, let your branches grow
Over the green green grass of home, let a new tree grow

Jah Jah say, one by one put down your guns and go back now
To the green green grass of home, let a new seed grow
Jah Jah! Day by day nourish ya roots, let your branches grow
Over the green green grass of home, let a new tree grow

Help them Jah!
