Summer Snow Lyrics: Gary McGath, Copyright 2025 Tune: Kathy Mar, "Edward"

An early summer morn, A new day at White Sands, A group of brilliant minds With power at their command. A group of camping girls, Awakened by a fearsome sound, They went outside to see But didn't know just what they'd found.

Refrain: Campers who are dancing in the snow, Even though it is a warm summer day. As the flakes of pretty fallout Light upon their outstretched hands Emitting unseen rays, They're dancing to their death, It's shortening their days And poisoning their breath They are dancing to their death.

The ones who set it loose Could not let people know. They did not know themselves What would come with the snow. They had a war to win, They shrouded all in secrecy Upon that summer night Although the burst was plain to see.

Refrain

Now in the documents The tale is fully told, I see their trusting hands Reach out, the flakes to hold. Their rulers lied to them, Claimed there was no cause for alarm, But they will dance no more, For no one would confess the harm.
