From the beginning
I've learned to hate
Those who are different
I can't relate
You're not my color
You're not my creed
Yet, in my intolerance
Our children bleed
Put your swords down, put your swords down
So the dew will rust them
Put your swords down, put your swords down
Rust them into the ground
Put your swords down, put your swords down
I will put my trust in you
We share one future
We hold its peace
In our acceptance
Our children breathe
Put your swords down, put your swords down
So the dew will rust them
Put your swords down, put your swords down
Rust them into the ground
Put your swords down, put your swords down
I will put my trust in you
Ooh, I can taste your culture
Ooh, I can touch your skin
Ooh, I see revolution
Ooh, taking place within you…
Put your swords down, put your swords down
So the dew will rust them
Put your swords down, put your swords down
Rust them into the ground
Put your swords down, put your swords down
I will put my trust in you
