[Verse 1] Pull up a chair I got good news Power in your backyard Right under your shoes Tiny little suns Sleeping in the stone Wake ’em up careful Light up every home [Pre-Chorus] We been burning things Till the sky turned gray But there’s a cleaner fire Humming far away Do the hard math Face what’s true Fear don’t get to Call the truth taboo (hey!) [Chorus] I’m preaching that good atomic energy Small heart Big heat Bright legacy More light Less smoke in our lungs tonight Split a little fear Turn it into light I’m preaching that good atomic energy Smart hands Strong minds Shared destiny If we treat it like it’s sacred Not a toy to play Split the atom right And we save the day [Verse 2] Talk about waste Yeah We gotta own it Lock it up tight Mark it so we know it Engineers praying With slide rules and code Faith in the numbers On a long Long road [Pre-Chorus] Nothing made by us Ever comes risk-free But hiding from the future Ain’t security Bring the best brains Lay the fears bare Love is in the courage To do more than despair (oh!) [Chorus] I’m preaching that good atomic energy Small heart Big heat Bright legacy More light Less smoke in our lungs tonight Split a little fear Turn it into light I’m preaching that good atomic energy Smart hands Strong minds Shared destiny If we treat it like it’s sacred Not a toy to play Split the atom right And we save the day [Bridge] Picture every kid Reading by a steady glow Storm hits hard And the lights still show Grandma’s bill Half of what she used to pay That’s the quiet miracle Of doing brave the careful way [Chorus] I’m preaching that good atomic energy Small heart Big heat Bright legacy More light Less smoke in our lungs tonight Split a little fear Turn it into light I’m preaching that good atomic energy Smart hands Strong minds Shared destiny If we treat it like it’s sacred Not a toy to play Split the atom right And we save the day (yeah) Split the atom right We can light the way
