The first day of the nuclear age
Became "Day One".
It was likened to the day of Christ's birth
For the calendars began anew.
Or to the big bang of creation
When the universe was first formed.
All time began again
The clock is now ticking down.
We must find a way
To again become one with the universe.
Or war will fragment us into a trillion atoms.
One cause - Peace.
One world - a family of humanity
Caring and sharing.
When seeing ourselves
In the faces of all nations,
We can no longer be separate beings.
We are to become the community of planet Earth.
That first atomic bomb was an implosion -
The gathering of energy inward.
Likewise, we must all become compressed
To the central core of love.
An implosion bomb was thought impossible,
A world drawn to love is thought impossible,
But they have made on -
So we must make the other.
Oh God, draw us to your love.
May the force of the world's destructive powers
Rest so heavily on our conscience,
That we are compressed into one with Thee.
May the old elements of our nature become new elements.
May the explosion be one of the spirit
That sends its fallout of love throughout the world.
May our light be so bright that it reveals the true God.
And may we find a way to live together,
So not to die apart.
We are all one body - peace is our only option to self destruct
