EVREN - One Tree

It all started with a tree, (yeah a tree) and you can't cut it down
It started with a tree can you hear that sound
It's the people, (the people) now what you gonna do
Everybody stand up nobody move
It's a moment (a moment) that we all really need
Finally awake we've been living in a dream
And everybody knows that we gotta break free
It's all going down and it started with a tree

You can't have it, I said you can't cut it down
This is our people this is our sound
This is our music, this is our voice
This is our movement, this is our choice
Get yourself our there, get yourself heard
You can change the world with the power of the word
Enough is enough, and we ain't gonna stop
Too many people, not enough cops

It all started with a tree, (yeah a tree) and you can't cut it down
It started with a tree can you hear that sound
It's the people, (the people) now what you gonna do
Everybody stand up nobody move
It's a moment (a moment) that we all really need
Finally awake we've been living in a dream
And everybody knows that we gotta break free
It's all going down and it started with a tree

They can take away justice, take away law
Take away freedom, that's what we saw
They talk about peace, but they really want War
The world is watching, they won't get far
Revolution, it can happen in a day
Don't be afraid of the things they say
We all come together and we can't be stopped
Too many people, not enough cops

It all started with a tree, (yeah a tree) and you can't cut it down
It started with a tree can you hear that sound
It's the people, (the people) now what you gonna do
Everybody stand up nobody move
It's a moment (a moment) that we all really need
Finally awake we've been living in a dream
And everybody knows that we gotta break free
It's all going down and it started with a tree

Bir, iki, uc, dort

The poets, the artists, the thinkers and writers
The cryptic, the passive-aggressive reciters
The actors, musicians, the painters and dancers
They jail us for freedoms of taking our chances
The lovers, the haters, the gays and the straighters
The drinkers, and smokers, the laughers, and jokers
The socially awkward, the mamas and papas
The farmers, and croppers, the big city shoppers
They sell us they trade us, they love us and hate us
They claim that we voted them in so they made us
And last but not least, they will give us the knowledge
Of mass education through government college
And they won't apologize, they want to beat us
And forcefully feed us, and now that we told them
That we've had enough of it, we will not take it
And let them be rough with it, we give them power
And we give them places and teach them a lesson
They'll never erase, so people awaken and finally see

It all started with a tree, (yeah a tree) and you can't cut it down
It started with a tree can you hear that sound
It's the people, (the people) now what you gonna do
Everybody stand up nobody move
It's a moment (a moment) that we all really need
Finally awake we've been living in a dream
And everybody knows that we gotta break free
It's all going down and it started with a tree

It all started with a tree, (yeah a tree) and you can't cut it down
It started with a tree can you hear that sound
It's the people, (the people) now what you gonna do
Everybody stand up nobody move
It's a moment (a moment) that we all really need
Finally awake we've been living in a dream
And everybody knows that we gotta break free
It's all going down and it started with a tree

We the free peoples of Earth, declare that now upon this momentous occasion
Of solidarity, as we stand side by side, arm in arm, shoulder to shoulder
With our hearts full of love and compassion, with understanding and acceptance
Of all that we face in the eyes of adversity, together as one, man, woman, and child
A community, a collective, and most importantly a revolution of expression
Non-judgmentally driven, without persecution of beliefs, or the undermining of those
With differing values, side by side in the name of humanity, of morality, and equality
For all people, free from oppression and intolerance, arrogance and tyranny
Unscathed by the unapologetic nature of power and greed, unmoved by the fear of persuasion
Steadfast in our resolve without fear of brutality, and relentless, merciless, savagery
Together we stand side by side for our brothers, our sisters, our elders and our children
Now is a time to move past the lies, the hatred, the domination of the human spirit
To create a better world inspired by unity, harmony, education, opportunity, consideration
And empathy, unwavering as a mountain, deep-rooted as a tree
From now and forever as one people we will stand Strong, as one people we will stand free
And as we stand side by side remember that it all started with One Tree
