Lyrics Apples Apples - Mr. J. Medeiros

Apples Apples

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
