I don’t want to die in an automobile,
I don’t want to die like that.
I don’t want to die riding my bike in the city,
With the automobiles chasing me around.
I don’t want to die, falling from the sky,
In a great big aeroplane on high,
When it’s time to die I will walk down to the river,
Feel the water one last time.
So Help Me, Help Me,
Live and Die
In This Valley
I don’t want to live with fear of radiation,
The cells in my bones turned against me.
I don’t want to live with anger in my heart,
At all those who see the world differently from me.
I just want to live, day by day, living each moment.
Oh won’t you help me live that way,
Find a little peace in the valley.
Help Me, Help Me,
Live and Die,
In This Valley
