I remember when I was small,
I remember when I was young
I remember being taught to duck and cover
And now as the jet planes move on,
they all have dropped their bombs
And the city has fell over and died
I wonder how Mildred feels
I wonder if my wife saw it coming
I can see her in the hotel room;
I can see her watching television
I imagine the broadcast stations
must've been the first to go
I can see her screaming
as the screens with her family went black
So this war in an instant
Has wiped the earth clean
Only now will they recognize
Their mistakes
And as the dust will clear
So will we help the ones alive.
And we will start to speak
And share the words of the past
