I've racked my brain, I've searched my heart, to try to find an explanation Why the powers-that-be have failed to see the sacredness of Home; This blue and cloud-strewn paradise, this living cradle of creation... Scale and feather, flesh and bone. Now we by NASA are betrayed for major corporations Who will use the public's money for the systems that they've bought. I say this military madness is a crazy reckless gamble! No launches until solar powered missions can be wrought! Plutonium, most deadly thing of all! Consider what would happen, if these foul flights should fall... Chorus: They will not fly; they will not fly, Don't let these poison arrows pierce the sky! They must not fly until their wings of solar power are made. They will not fly; they will not soar, 'cause we won't take this madness anymore. These evil deeds can't be explained. So tell me, what about the rain? The fragrant air? The earth, and the fish? Dear God of Love, please grant my wish, and don't let them fly! Darth Vader in his darkest nightmare might have conjured this, That NASA would be willing to betray us with a kiss For major corporations who deal in death and lies, To monopolize and mine the friendly skies... Lift your voice for everything that thrives, Because for every decent action, we prove that love survives! Chorus © Holly Gwinn Graham 2002
