These are the little children
The future in our hands
When all God's children on this Earth
Inherit all our plans
These are the lies they tell us
But this is the only way
When all God's children on the Earth
Will ever more be saved

The future's in their hands
When all God's children on this Earth
Inherit all our plans
These are the lies they tell us
The future's good as sold
In all the things we say and do
We really must be bold

TELEGRAPH
I've got a telegraph
In my hand
Words on paper
Written in sand
We've got telegraph (we've got telegraph)
Right across this land (all across this land)
It doesn't mean a damn thing
We don't understand
But who needs telegraph anyway?
I've got a telegraph (I've got a telegraph)
In my hand (in my hand)
Words on paper (words on paper)
Written in sand (written in sand)
We've got telegraph (we've got telegraph)
Right across this land (all across this land)
It doesn't mean a damn thing (it doesn't mean a thing)
We don't understand (we never understand)
God's got telegraph
On his side (on his side)
It makes him powerful
Gives him pride (gives him pride)
Even in America (God bless America)
They understand (they understand)
The value of telegraph (the value of telegraph)
Hand in hand (hand in hand)
INTERNATIONAL
Now and then
A little thing gets by
Now and then
we'll cry
Like a fall in a war
Like a mother's open arms
Like a pawn in a game
Hard to take
There we sit in a line
Wasting fortunes at a time
And pray
All the time we are gone
There's no reason
There's no way
Oh the sound is the one
So they say
There we sit on a line
Wasting fortunes at a time
And play
She never thought
He'd be this way
Her arms aloft
She holds
But now it's all a memory
And it's gone

THE ROMANCE OF THE TELESCOPE
See these arms that were broken
How they held you so
Never once did they fail you
They won't let you go
We're just waiting looking skyward
As the days come down
Someone promised there'd be answers
If we stayed around
Over decades, now this romance
Has sustained us all
Never questioned only giving
What it made us for

SILENT RUNNING
God only knows
This isn't heaven
The promises made
He never kept them
We're walking on air
We're taking our time
But God only knows
His isn't reason or rhyme
I've had this feeling
I don't believe it
It's happened before
I just reject it
We're walking on air
We're taking our time
But God only knows
His isn't reason or rhyme
These are the feelings
I know their outcome
It's useless pretending
I'd like to beat them
We're walking on air
We're taking our time
But God only knows
His isn't reason or rhyme
We're walking on air
We're taking our time
But God only knows
His isn't reason or rhyme
We're walking on air

RADIO WAVES
From the transmitter
To the receiver
Across the ether
Out of your speaker
Radio waves have life
Radio waves have life
Machines are living too
Working for me and you
From the transmitter
To the receiver
Across the ether
Out of your speaker
To the Baltic Fleet
And Atlantic Fleet
Faster than the breeze
Over stormy seas
Radio waves have life
Radio waves have life
Machines are living too
Working for me and you
Radio waves have life
Radio waves have life
Machines are living too
Working for me and you
Through America
To Albania
Over Reagan's head
Under Moscow's bed
To the Warsaw Pact
And the NATO Pact
Down this cul-de-sac
Never turning back
Radio waves have life
Radio waves have life
Machines are living too
Working for me and you
