"Apple Trees of Hope or Vines of Hate"
Verse 1: [ Female Narrator vocals 1 ]
[Banjo] [Fiddle]
Johnny walked the land with gentle stride,
A sack of seeds slung by his side.
Through forests vast and rivers wide,
He planted hope where none could hide.
Chorus:
Apple trees of hope or vines of hate,
What we plant will seal our fate.
Johnny's trees grew strong and free,
But Trump is no Johnny Appleseed.
Verse 2: [Male Narrator Vocals 2 ]
The apple trees he sowed with care,
Grew roots in soil, their branches bare.
Fruits for feasts, and cider's brew,
A gift for settlers brave and new.
Chorus: [Vocals 1 and 2 ]
Apple trees of hope or vines of hate,
What we plant will seal our fate.
Johnny's trees grew strong and free,
But Trump is no Johnny Appleseed.
Bridge:
Trump is no Johnny Appleseed,
His seeds don't grow what people need.
No trees of life, no roots to feed—
Just vines of terror and poisoned creed.
Verse 3:[ Female Vocals 1 ]
Where Johnny sowed for cider's cheer,
Trump plants division far and near.
His words take root in fertile fear,
And bloom in chaos year by year.
Chorus: [Male and Female 1 and 2 ]
Apple trees of hope or vines of hate,
What we plant will seal our fate.
Johnny's trees grew strong and free,
But Trump is no Johnny Appleseed.
Verse 4:
These vines grow thick with hate and lies,
They choke the earth and cloud the skies.
But Canada saw these creeping blights,
And stood against their darkened nights.
Bridge: [Banjo, Cello ]
[ Male Vocals 2 ]
The Proud Boys banned for violent creed,
Atomwaffen crushed for deadly seed.
Three Percenters cast out with The Base—
Canada's laws leave no hiding place.
Verse 5:
Johnny's seeds brought food and drink,
A future bright for folks to think.
But Trump's vines twist; they tear and bind,
And leave destruction in their kind.
Final Chorus: [ Vocals 1 and 2 ]
Apple trees of hope or vines of hate,
What we plant will seal our fate.
Let's learn from apples Johnny grew,
And sow the seeds of something true.
