When I Was A Babe The Sea And The Sun


Were The Mother's Arms To Which I'd Run


Secure Beneath The Pure Maternal Sky.


Time Went On We Grew Apart,


And I Forgot My Mothers Heart


A Heart Deprived Of Love Can Only Cry


And I Am Going Away, I Heard Her Say


I'm Going Away, I Heard Her Say


I'm Going Away, Won't Someone Say Goodbye


When I Was A Child I Ruled The Earth


I Owned It All, Its Total Worth


Each Fish, Each Field, Each Flower, Each Dragonfly


Then One Day It Occured To Me


If I Owned The Earth, Then The Earth Owns Me


And Each Of Us Must Live Or Both Of Us Will Die


And I Am Going Away, I Heard Her Say


Yes I'm Going Away, I Heard Her Say


I'm Going Away, Won't Someone Say Goodbye


Alone In Space We Together Float


A Frightened Crew In A Fragile Boat


And Each Of Us Must Live Or Both Of Us Will Die


Each Of Us Must Live Or Both Of Us Will Die








After A Nuclear War, Ours Will Be A Very Different World. Everything We Know, See, Hear, Feel . . . All We've Inherited From Our Ancestors, From Galileo, From Da Vinci - We Will Have Destroyed. All The Music Will Be Silenced: Beethoven, Mozart, The Beatles, No More. No More The Books, The Bible, The Human Beings. Most People Will Die. They Will Be The Fortunate Ones. The Unfortunate Ones Will Suffer A Lingering Illness Called Acute Radiation. Acute Radiation Is Something Never Seen Until The Atomic Bombs Were Dropped - By Us - On Hiroshima And Nagasaki, In The Sunny Month Of August, On A Summer Day Just Like Today. . . .
