THE LEBANON
She dreams of 1969
Before the soldiers came
The life was cheap on bread and wine
And sharing meant no shame
She is awakened by the scream
Of rockets flying from nearby
And now she's clinging to a dream
To beat the fear that she might die
Who would have won if the soldiers have gone
From the Lebanon?
Before he leaves the camp he stops
He scans the world outside
And where there used to be some shops
Is now where the snipers sometimes hide
He left his home the week before
He thought that he'd be like police
And now he found himself at war
Weren't we supposed to keep the peace?
And who would have won if the soldiers have gone
From the Lebanon?
I must be dreaming
This can't be true
