| We can plant a seed
|
| And watch it grow
|
| Food enough to fill a table
|
| Running water down an overflow
|
| Eat as much as we are able
|
| But would the fruit turn ripe
|
| If the rains had never been?
|
| Chorus: Oh Lord deliver us from the elements
|
| We at your mercy and your reverence
|
| Oh Lord deliver us from the elements
|
| We’ve no defense we are impotent
|
| You can travel far to distant lands
|
| Some so hot no man could bear
|
| You can conquer peaks with winds of sand
|
| Where Mother Nature didn’t care
|
| Would not our world turn cold
|
| If the sun refused to shine
|
| Chorus
|
| And when the world grows old
|
| And we know more than our brains can hold
|
| Nature will be law
|
| Well we’re as helpless now as we’ve ever been before
|
| Would not our world turn cold
|
| If the sun refused to shine |
