John Roth had a heart like flame, he believed all souls were loved the same
He packed up his hopes and his family and moved to Ohio

There in the deep dark wilderness, with a newborn son he soon was blessed
Raised him up in the ways of the old prophets, and named him Isaiah Roth

Do no harm she'd no blood, the only law here is love
We can call the kingdom down here on earth
Beat your swords into plows, don't be afraid I'll show how
Lift your eyes to the skies All is holy here

The forest people soon came near His message to the red children clear
We can build the peaceable kingdom here in shadows of these trees

They planted oats and beans and maize
They planted their hearts in the dirt of that place
And they learned to speak of hope and grace in language of John Roth

Do no harm she'd no blood, the only law here is love
We can call the kingdom down here on earth
Beat your swords into plows, don't be afraid I'll show how
Lift your eyes to the skies All is holy here

When Isaiah Roth had just turned ten
He was working in the loft again
He looked out and saw eight white men
Come riding up that day
The men shouted out from the deepening glade
Saying, Ya'll come on out an we can trade

The forest people walked out unafraid with smiles and open hands
The white traders brought up their guns,
And them shot down each and every one
And the Eden that John Roth begun,
Lay bleeding on the ground

Do no harm she'd no blood, the only law here is love
We can call the kingdom down here on earth
Beat your swords into plows, don't be afraid I'll show how
Lift your eyes to the skies All is holy here

The world has aged by 50 years The Quakers came and settled near
Old Isaiah Roth still preaches here, that the greatest law is love
Some people say it's all a scam, just the ravings of some old man
But Isaiah Roth says he still can, see Eden on the hill

Do no harm,
She'd no blood,
The only law here is love
