There was no atheist in the foxholes,
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 a fighting boy's prayer.
Oh, it went up so loud, it divided up the clouds,
And the houses did vanish away.
And a big 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.
Karl & Harty, Columbia Records #36892, 1945
