Chorus:

Just give me the warm power of the sun

Give me the steady flow of a waterfall

Give me the spirit of living things as they return to clay.

Just give me the restless power of the wind

Give me the comforting glow of a wood fire

But please take all of your atomic poison power away.



Everybody needs some power i'm told

To shield them from the darkness and the cold

Some may see a way to take control when it's bought and sold.



I know that lives are at stake

Yours and mine and our descendants in time.

There's so much to gain, so much to lose

Everyone of us has to choose.



(chorus)



We are only now beginning to see

How delicate the balance of nature can be

The limits of her ways have been defined

And we've crossed that line.



Some don't even care or know that we'll pay

But we have seen the face of death in our day.

There's so little time to change our ways

If only we together can say



(chorus)



All of your atomic poison power

All of your atomic poison power

Away.
