| Imagine a time when it all began
|
| In the dying days of a 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 |
