crosby nash - power lyrics

power
by peter, paul & mary
performed by crosby & nash
from the bread & roses festival

just give me the warm power of the sun
give me the steady flow of a waterfall
give me the spirit of living things as they return to clay.
just give me the restless power of the wind
give me the comforting glow of a wood fire
but please take all of your atomic poison power away.

everybody needs some power i’m told
to shield them from the darkness and the cold
some may see a way to take control when it’s bought and sold.

i know that lives are at stake
yours and mine and our descendants in time.
there’s so much to gain, so much to lose
everyone of us has to choose.

just give me the warm power of the sun
give me the steady flow of a waterfall
give me the spirit of living things as they return to clay.
just give me the restless power of the wind
give me the comforting glow of a wood fire
but please take all of your atomic poison power away.

just give me the warm power of the sun
give me the steady flow of a waterfall
give me the spirit of living things as they return to clay.
just give me the restless power of the wind
give me the comforting glow of a wood fire
but please take all of your atomic poison power away.

won’t you do this for me?
take all of your atomic poison power
take all of your atomic poison power
take all of your atomic poison power
away.

note: the original has a second stanza which crosby & nash omitted in concert. it appears below.

we are only now beginning to see
how delicate the balance of nature can be
the limits of her ways have been defined
and we’ve crossed that line.

some don’t even care or know that we’ll pay
but we have seen the face of death in our day.
there’s so little time to change our ways
if only we together can say
