The things she saw she hardly could spell
 Honey, don't stay too long in the sun, said Mom
 And Julia doesn't feel well

 Waters are dying but they're still blue
 Blue as they were when the grass hadn't gone
 Picking flowers is something I've never done
 Because of radiation

 On the day
 The day the earth stood still
 It's getting dark
 So move a little closer
 Yesterday
 The white powder fell
 But the snow didn't melt in the sun
 And the summer has gone

 A whole new world has gone astray
 People seem never to learn
 Mistakes that are made steer us into
 A corporate grave - genetic alternation

 Night after night I keep dreaming
 Burned out children won't play anymore
 Blown away and the wind takes their ashes ashore
 Their final destination

 On the day
 The day the earth stood still
 It's getting dark
 So move a little closer
 Yesterday
 The white powder fell
 But the snow didn't melt in the sun
 And the summer has gone
