Mr. J Medeiros - Apples Apples lyrics

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
