Apple Tree

All of my life I've been hunting
I've been a girl, I've been a boy
Digging my feet into the ground like an apple tree
Wanting to live with a purpose

Skin is a word, love is not a sin
People are bad, people are good
Just like the Moon is a stone
But it's a star when it's dark and now she's hiding

If you've seen what a heart is, you've seen its color
If I ever knew how we could guide it
I would take care of its children, become their mother
If I ever knew how we could hide it, hide it

Let her save the world, she is just a girl
Let him save them all, he is just a boy
Let her save the world, she is just a girl
Let him save them all, he is just a boy

Hunger is quiet if you do it right
Hunter is loud and predictable
Scaring away every prey
So they're gone before the hunter arrives

Would you be kind and put away your sword?
You cannot cut away what we've got
You cannot kill what we are
We are not here in physical form

You've seen where the knife is, its dark location
If I ever knew how we could hide it
I would cut into our anger, make pure emotion
If I ever knew how we could hide it, hide it

Let her save the world, she is just a girl
Let him save them all, he is just a boy
Let her save the world, she is just a girl
Let him save them all, he is just a boy

Can you carry the weight of mortality?
The explosions around you is your symphony

Let her save the world, she is just a girl
Let him save the poor, he is just a boy
Let her save the world, she is just a girl
Let him save the poor, he is just a boy
