When Rivers Burn

Don't cry my child Here dry your eyes Our kin will build so we can't die That space war shield called SDI When eagles swim and codfish fly In a pig's eye By and by Here our campfires sputter and die Dampen the ash Lest the fire returns And pray it's not the truth that burns The sick and old we'll hide no more We'll scrap our guns to feed the poor And love, humanity, and peace restore When lions sing and robins roar In a pig's eye By and by Here our campfires sputter and die And if you dampen the ash Lest the fire return And pray it's not the truth that burns Friendship of enemies we'll boldly spurn We'll build more bombs but sadly learn That it's not peace that those weapons earn When mountains melt and rivers burn When mountains melt and rivers burn When mountains melt and rivers burn When mountains melt and rivers burn In a pig's eye By and by Here our campfires sputter and die And if you dampen the ash Lest the fire returns And pray it's not the truth that burns Pray it's not truth that burns And pray it's not the truth that burns
