Imagine a time when it all began   In the dying days of a war   A weapon - that would settle the score   Whoever found it first   Would be sure to do their worst -   They always had before...      Imagine a man where it all began   A scientist pacing the floor   In each nation - always eager to explore   To build the best big stick   To turn the winning trick -   But this was something more...      The big bang - took and shook the world   Shot down the rising sun   the end was begun - it would hit everyone   When the chain reaction was done   The big shots - try to hold it back   Fools try to wish it away   The hopeful depend on a world without end   Whatever the hopeless may say      Imagine a place where it all began   They gathered from across the land   To work in the secrecy of the desert sand   All of the brightest boys   To play with the biggest toys -   More than they bargained for...      Imagine a man when it all began   The pilot of "Enola Gay"   Flying out of the shockwave on that August day   All the powers that be, and the course of history,   Would be changed for evermore...
