about

Words and music by Andrew Dutney.
Written in Sydney, 1986

lyrics

Let the ocean be water
Let the water be clean
Let the life that swarms in it
Be a trust guaranteed
The Pacific: we live in it
Our home's in the sea
The Pacific: we live in it
Make it nuclear free

Let the islands be places
Where their people can stay
Let their harbours give shelter
On a traveller's way
The Pacific: we live in it
Our home's name means "peace"
The Pacific: we live in it
Make it nuclear free

Take those ships with their cargo
Of a poisonous death
Send them back to the breeders
Of the nuclear pest
The Pacific: we live in it
We will share it, but please
The Pacific: we live in it
Make it nuclear free

And stop that weaponry testing
This is our own back yard
For the gathering of peoples without fear or alarm
The Pacific: we live in it
Let us choose how we'll be
The Pacific: we live in it
Make it nuclear free

We are nations and races
We are family and friends
Our communion is shared
On the tide and the wind
The Pacific: we live in it
Let us choose how we'll be
The Pacific: we live in it
Keep it nuclear free
The Pacific: we live in it
Oceana's our home
The Pacific: we live in it
It's a nuclear free zone
