Atom bomb; Atom bomb
burning bright;
turning morning into night;
what immoral hearts or minds
your fearful anarchy, designed?

Did they smile, their work, to see;
the charred remains of World War 3
when all hell raining down its spears
spread radiation everywhere?

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear
could it be
the same species that made thee?
Gentle toy, so mild and meek
unlike atomic havoc wreaked.

And what magic, and what art
would love, restore, within their hearts
so they'd aspire to be friends;
on wings of love, dare to ascend?
