Same Tree

Kill each other over our religions    
end other lives for what we believe    
we've taken men      
hung them right up there    
for the color of their skin    
right up in our tree    
that tree we carved our names into    
heart with an arrow    
shot clean through              
hate them for what they believe in    
hates us back for the very same    
take these guns onto the fields    
our blood runs onto its leaves    
those leaves that fell so beautifully in autumn    
this cool crisp morning won't let us be    
live and die    
love or hate    
our leaves fall from the same damn tree!
