Creed - One lyrics

Affirmative may be justified take from one give to another
The goal is to be unified take my hand be my brother
The payment silenced the masses sanctified by oppression
Unity took a back seat sliding further in regression
One the only way is one
I feel angry I feel helpless, want to change the world
I feel violent I feel alone, don't try and change my mind
Society blind by color why hold down one to raise another
Discrimination now on both sides seeds of hate blossom further
The world is heading for mutiny, when all we want is unity
We may rise and fall, but in the end we meet our fate together



Rush - The Trees

There was unrest in the forest,
There was trouble with the trees,
For the maples wanted sunlight
And the oaks ignored their pleas.

The trouble with the maples,
(And they're quite convinced they're right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light.
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made.
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade.

There was trouble in the forest,
And the creatures all had fled,
As the maples screamed "Oppression!"
And the oaks just shake their heads

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights.
"The oaks are just too greedy;
We will make them give us light."
Now there's no more oak oppression,
For they passed a noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.

  1. those two hardwoods never did get along.

    put each of them beside a pine tree and they'll be happy as clams.

  2. Pine trees, peacemaker of the forest.

    Pine trees are my favorite, they smell good too.
    We had a bad ice storm one year and a pine tree bent over like Charlie Brown's Christmas tree. A lot of people said I should cut it down but I had faith in it. Now it stands straight and tall, a living testament to my wisdom...or luck.
