Mark Erelli - Seeds of peace

The American flag is ^Ftied to a ^Gfence on an ^Coverpass With a ^Fhomemade sign ^Gwritten in red, white and ^Cblue And it ^Freads, "Welcome home, Jason ^GMiller, Private First ^AmClass" And I ^Dmdon't even know him, but I'm grateful for any good ^Gnews

What's be^Ccome of my country ^Ftorn by ^Gcontra^Cdiction The ^Fspirit of freedom propped ^Gup by a culture of ^Cfear Where's it's ^Funpatriotic to ^Gprotest or even to ^Amquestion Have we learned ^Dmnothing from history or the last couple ^Gyears

And the ^Frain pours ^Gdown On the ^Efallow ^Amground And the ^Ffruited plain as ^Gbarren as the ^Csand Is it not with^Fin our ^Gwill How long must we ^Ewait un^Amtil The ^Fseeds of peace find ^Gpurchase in this ^Cland

He stood on the deck and he ^Fsaid we'd ac^Gcomplished our ^Cmission And he ^Ftwisted the facts 'til he ^Gknew it could pass for the ^Ctruth ^FVengeance can fill any ^Gfool with con^Amviction But he ^Dmcan't wash the blood of the fallen from his cowboy ^Gboots

And the ^Frain pours ^Gdown On the ^Efallow ^Amground And the ^Ffruited plain as ^Gbarren as the ^Csand Is it not with^Fin our ^Gwill How long must we ^Ewait un^Amtil The ^Fseeds of peace find ^Gpurchase in this ^Cland

I will not be shamed into ^Fsilence by ^Gpartisan ^Cthunder And I ^Fwon't fall in line and ^Gmarch to the drums on the ^Cwind How ^Fmany more daughters and ^Gsons will we see ploughed ^Amunder How much ^Dmlonger must we wait 'til the harvest comes ^Gin

'Til the ^Fsun shines ^Gdown On this ^Ehallowed ^Amground And the ^Ffruited plain so ^Gbountiful and ^Cgrand Is it not with^Fin our ^Gwill How long must we ^Ewait un^Amtil The ^Fseeds of peace find ^Gpurchase in this ^Cland Will the ^Fseeds of peace find ^Gpurchase in this ^Cland
