When the Atom Bomb Fell

歌詞

Oh it went up so loud it divided up the clouds And the houses did vanish away And a great a ball of light filled the Japanese with fright They must have thought it was their judgment day Smoke and fire it did flow through the land of Tokyo There was brimstone and dust everywhere When it all cleared away there the cruel Japs did lay The answer to our fighting boys' prayers Yes, Lord, the answer to our fighting boys' prayers There was no atheist in a foxhole And men who never prayed before Lifted tired and bloodshot eyes to heaven And begged the Lord to end that awful war They told Him of their homes and loved ones They told Him that they'd like to be there I believe the bomb that struck Hiroshima Was the answer to our fighting boys' prayers Oh it went up so loud it divided up the clouds And the houses did vanish away And a great a ball of light filled the Japanese with fright They must have thought it was their judgment day Smoke and fire it did flow through the land of Tokyo There was brimstone and dust everywhere When it all cleared away there the cruel Japs did lay The answer to our fighting boys' prayers Yes, Lord, the answer to our fighting boys' prayers
