One Tree Hill Lyrics

Lyric discussion by pianofire 

Cover art for One Tree Hill lyrics by U2

"And in the world, a heart of darkness, a fire zone Where poets speak their heart, then bleed for it Jara sang, his song a weapon in the hands of love You know his blood still cries from the ground"

while i'm not sure about the rest of this song, this verse refers to the corrupt government in chile. victor jara was a singer who spoke out against the government and was taken to the stadium to be publicly executed as a result.

@pianofire I remember reading somewhere that the Chilean military cut off Victor Jara's hands so he couldn't perform anymore
