Power Lyrics
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 clayJust 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 awayEverybody 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 soldI 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 chooseJust 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 clayJust 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 awayWe 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 lineSome 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 sayJust 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 clayJust 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
All of your atomic poison power
All of your atomic poison power away
