Please Stand Down

I don't see no savior here
So I tried to grow an olive tree
Your soil may be hard and mean
If you are tainted just come clean
Together we could change the Fates decree

I don't see no savior here
Maybe it's too late to change anything
I said, please stand down
Give up your weapons and your crowns
But they said somebody has got to be the king

I don't see no savior here
Just survivors, directionless and scared
And we're all clinging to these creeds
To justify our words and deeds
I hope someday our ravages can be repaired

All we've got are these small hands and these big thoughts
The people we have loved and lost and fought
The hopes we laid to rest, the dreams we sought
Give up your weapons and your crowns
Please stand down
