One Touch


It was so simple
Do anything you want,
Just don’t touch that tree.
That one single solitary tree.
All the rest are fine.
Just don’t touch that one. 

One rule.
One tree.
Don’t touch.
Simple.

It looked good for food
Pleasant to the eye
Could make one wise
No cage or fence or guard

It was up the them
To obey
To stay
Or stray

One touch was all it took
One touch and they were exposed
One touch and so were we…the whole world

Today we revisit the scene
Today we’re reminded
We’re in this together

It’s simple.
Just like then.
Hard, perhaps.
But simple.
No cage or fence or guard

It’s up to you
It’s up to me
To obey
To stay
Or stray

Of us, what will they say
One touch was all it took 
One touch and they were exposed
One touch and so were we…the whole world
