The tundra is gorgeous but grows OH, so slowly! A lesson so hard to be learned. The poppies so yellow, the lichens so lowly, if damaged, take years to return. The long arctic summer is great for the garden, grows prize-winning carrots and cukes, grows just about anything you can imagine but one things it won't grow is nukes CHORUS No nukes in the arctic, no nukes in the ocean, don't put deadly lasers in space, the Earth is too fragile for that kind of notion let's keep it a peaceable place. The permafrost remembers all those who cross it, the ptarmigan and the reindeer, so lets salute it, try not to pollute it, it's been there for thousands of years. Now people all over the country are saying the arms race has gone much too far. So let's send a message to those who are paying our hard earned tax dollars on war. CHORUS The Inuit lived here for thousands of years, and never took more than they needed. Then we brought them "progress", disease, and TV; their warnings to us went unheeded. The Soviet factories belch out their smoke, their acid rain poisons our lakes. We must pay attention, it's really no joke, There's more than the Arctic at stake CHORUS © Waterbound 2002
