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
