Imagine a time when it all began |
|
In the dying days of the war |
|
A weapon that would settle the score |
|
Whoever found it first |
|
Would be sure to do their worst |
|
They always had before |
|
Imagine a man where it all began |
|
A scientist pacing the floor |
|
In each nation, always eager to explore |
|
To build the best big stick |
|
To turn the winning trick |
|
But this was something more |
|
The big bang took and shook the world |
|
Shot down the rising sun |
|
The end was begun and it hit everyone |
|
When the chain reaction was done |
|
The big shots tried to hold it back |
|
Fools tried to wish it away |
|
The hopeful depend on a world without end |
|
Whatever the hopeless may say |
|
Imagine a place where it all began |
|
Gathered from across the land |
|
To work in the secrecy of the desert sand |
|
All of the brightest boys |
|
To play with the biggest toys |
|
More than they bargained for |
|
The big bang took and shook the world |
|
Shot down the rising sun |
|
The hopeful depend on a world without end |
|
Whatever the hopeless may say |
|
Imagine a man when it all began |
|
The pilot of "Enola gay" |
|
Flying out of the shockwave on that |
|
August day |
|
All the powers that be |
|
And the course of history |
|
Would be changed forevermore |
|
The big bang took and shook the world |
|
Shot down the rising sun |
|
The end was begun and it hit everyone |
|
When the chain reaction was done |
|
The big shots tried to hold it back |
|
Fools tried to wish it away |
|
The hopeful depend on a world without end |
|
Whatever the hopeless may say |
|
The big bang took and shook the world |
|
Shot down the rising sun |
|
The hopeful depend on a world without end |
|
Whatever the hopeless may say |
