They woke you in the night   a glare from bright headlights.   Sentry's in a row,   you watched them from a front window.   Through sleepy eyes you saw the scene,   and felt   as if a dream...   had come to life.      Caught by surprise   protection in disguise.   A high barricade,   the price too high to pay.   The late-night dancers filled the street,   and stopped   as if a dream...   had come to life      A wail and a cry,   blue lights flashing by   In shadows of the trees,   a zone runs in between.   The young-boy soldiers filled the streets   and moved   as if a dream...   had come to life.      Can it be a nightmare?   Will you wake and still be there?   So you try to run,   frightened you're the one   left inside.
