^CJohn Roth ^G/Bhad a ^Dheart like flame He be^Clieved all ^G/Bsouls were ^Dloved the same He packed ^Gup his ^G/Bhopes and his ^Cfamily And moved to ^GOhi^Do

^CThere in the ^G/Bdeep, dark ^Dwilderness With a ^Cnewborn ^G/Bson, he ^Dsoon was blessed Raised him ^Gup in the ^G/Bways of the ^Cold prophets And named him I^Gsaiah ^DRoth

The ^Cforest ^G/Bpeople ^Dsoon came near His ^Cmessage ^G/Bto the red ^Dchildren clear We can ^Gbuild a ^G/Bpeaceable ^Ckingdom here In the shadow ^Gof these ^Dtrees

They ^Cplanted ^G/Boats and ^Dbeans and maize They ^Cplanted their ^G/Bhearts in the ^Ddirt of that place And they ^Glearned to ^G/Bspeak of ^Chope and grace In the language ^Gof John ^DRoth

Do no ^Charm, shed no ^Gblood, the only law here is ^Dlove We can ^Ccall the kingdom ^Gdown here on ^Dearth Beat your ^Cswords into ^G/Bploughs, don't be a^Amfraid I'll ^G/Bshow you ^Chow Lift your eyes to the ^G/Bsky, ^Gall is friendly ^Dhere

When I^Csaiah ^G/BRoth had ^Djust turned ten He was ^Cworking ^G/Bup in the ^Dloft again He looked ^Gout and ^G/Bhe saw ^Ceight white men Come riding ^Gup that ^Dday

The men ^Ccalled out ^G/Bfrom the ^Ddeepening glade Saying, ”Ya^C'll come ^G/Bout and ^Dwe can trade” The forest ^Gpeople ^G/Bwalked out ^Cunafraid With smiles and ^Gopen ^Dhands

The white ^Ctraders ^G/Blifted ^Dup their guns And ^Cshot them ^G/Bdown each and ^Devery one And the ^GEden ^G/Bthat John ^CRoth begun Lay bleeding ^Gon the ^Dground

Do no ^Charm, shed no ^Gblood, the only law here is ^Dlove We can ^Ccall the kingdom ^Gdown here on ^Dearth Beat your ^Cswords into ^G/Bploughs, don't be a^Amfraid I'll ^G/Bshow you ^Chow Lift your eyes to the ^G/Bsky, ^Gall is friendly ^Dhere

Now the ^Cworld has ^G/Baged by ^Dfifty years The ^CQuakers ^G/Bcame and ^Dsettled near Old I^Gsaiah ^G/BRoth still ^Cpreaches here That the greatest ^Glaw is ^Dlove

Do no ^Charm, shed no ^Gblood, the only law here is ^Dlove
