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 

[Chorus]
Do no harm, shed 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 the shadow 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 the language of John Roth 

[Chorus]

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, 
"Y'all come on out an' we can trade"
The forest people walked out unafraid with smiles and open hands 

The white traders lifted up their guns 
And shot them down each and every one 
And the Eden that John Roth begun 
Lay bleeding on the ground 

[Chorus]

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 
Shed no blood 
The only law here is love
