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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
