about

Stay true to the goodness in our collective nature, refuse to give in to hatred and tribalism. Even if it is our own tribe. Riveting violin solo from Kylie Morrigan.

lyrics

I’ve got no enemies today
That’s the way its gonna stay
I got no enemies today
I’m going to work to make it stay that way

I’ve lived on earth for all my life
I’ve had my share of life and strife
My heart challenged in many ways
Let go of love on many days

There are people with no love for me
People who could be my enemies
I don’t want to play their game
They may hate but I’ll try not to do the same

Maybe they’re gonna shoot me down
Pull me under watch me drown
But they can never control my soul
How I respond that’s under my control

So I say
No enemies I do believe
No enemies is what I see
No enemies in my soul
No enemies will my soul know

No enemies I do believe
No enemies is what I see
No enemies in my soul
No enemies [STOP] will my soul know

I’ve got no enemies today
That’s the way its gonna stay
I got no enemies today
I’m going to work and work and work and work to make it stay that way

I’ve lived on earth for all my life
I’ve had my share of life and strife
My heart challenged in many ways
Let go of love ...
Let go of love ...
Let go of love ...
On many days
On many days
On many days
Far too many days

Well there are people with no love for me
People who could be my enemies
I don’t want to play their game
They may hate
But I’ll try not to do the same
Try not to do the same
Try not to do the same
Try not to do the same

Maybe they’re gonna shoot me down
Pull me under watch me drown
They can never control my soul
They'll never control my soul
Never control my soul
They'll never control my soul
never control ...
Unless I let them
Unless I let them

So I say no enemies I do believe
No enemies is what I see
No enemies in my soul
No enemies will my soul know
No enemies I do believe
No enemies is what I see
No enemies in my soul
No enemies [STOP] will my soul …
know … oh …
