While hiding in a mountainside they'll watch it on T.V.,
Our taxes pay the cost to build the death machines,
Whose poisonous power spreads the cancer to our genes.
Chorus: the loving army and we'll put an end to war,
We'll sing this song of freedom from every mountain, field and shore.
The people have the power to spread the loving light,
We'll raise our voices and our hearts to end this fatal fight,
Nation against nation will be the cry no more,
The planet Earth, our mother, can heal the bleeding sore.
Chorus
No more sons and daughters will feed the fire of hate,
Without the guns and tanks and bombs it seals its own
The children of the future our seeds of love will grow,
To beauty, truth and understanding of all there is to know.
Chorus
With power from the sun and wind world communities can thrive,
No more hunger, pain and fear, in peace we will survive,
And our message to the universe, that love can conquer war,
With voices of great joy and music into every heart will pour.
Chorus (repeat twice)
Dedicated to Susan Crane, beloved anti-nuclear activist and political prisoner, currently suffering incarceration in a federal prison for acting on her beliefs for a sane and just world.
