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!
