mark erelli - seeds of peace lyrics
intro:
the american flag is tied to a fence on an overp-ss
with a homemade sign written in red, white and blue
and it reads “welcome home, jason miller, private first cl-ss”
and i don’t even know him but i’m grateful for any good news
what’s become of my country torn by contradiction
the spirit of freedom propped up by a culture of fear
where’s it’s unpatriotic to protest or even to question
have we learned nothing from history or the last couple years
chorus:
and the rain pours down
on the fallow ground
and the fruited plain as barren as the sand
is it not within our will
how long must we wait until
the seeds of peace find purchase in this land
he stood on the deck and he said we’d accomplished our mission
and he twisted the facts ’til he knew it could p-ss for the truth
vengeance can fill any fool with conviction
but he can’t wash the blood of the fallen from his cowboy boots
chorus
i will not be shamed into silence by partisan thunder
and i won’t fall in line and march to the drums on the wind
how many more daughters and sons will we see plowed under
how much longer must we wait ’til the harvest comes in
’til the sun shines down
on this hallowed ground
and the fruited plain so bountiful and grand
is it not within our will
how long must we wait until
the seeds of peace find purchase in this land
