A pretty, peaceful power (Song)

1.

 

The roaring rivers wild and free

are power, raw, that awe and thrill

but deeper power, over me,

hold lonely lakes peaceful and still.

 

The thunder and the lightning storm

can frighten all with flash and boom

but power golden, bright and warm

of sunlight lifts my heart from gloom.

 

Chorus:

 

And a pretty, peaceful power

bursts from every opening flower;

Atlas arms in gentle rays of sun

lift my heart up when it weighs a tonne.

 

Yes a pretty, peaceful power

over heads of tyrants towers

when the eagle fights against the dove

evils conquered by the force of love

 

2.

 

And blood red fire has the power

to blaze with heat and, ashen, turn

and yet  a pretty scarlet flower

within my heart makes passion burn

 

My body may be forced to kneel

and cower by bootheel and fist

but love within my heart, I feel,

gives me new power to resist.

 

 

Chorus:

 

And a pretty, peaceful power

bursts from every opening flower

Atlas arms in gentle rays of sun

lift my heart up when it weighs a tonne.

 

Yes a pretty, peaceful power

over heads of tyrants towers

When the eagle fights against the dove

evils conquered by the force of love
