(Verse 1)
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

(Hook)
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

(Verse 2)
We share one future
We hold its peace
In our acceptance
Our children breathe

(Hook)
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…

(Hook)
