She dreams of nineteen sixty-nine

Before the soldiers came

The life was cheap on bread and wine

And sharing meant no shame

She is awakened by the screams

Of rockets flying from nearby

And scared she clings onto her dreams

To beat the fear that she might die



And who will have won

When the soldiers have gone

From the Lebanon

The Lebanon



Before he leaves the camp he stops

He scans the world outside

And where there used to be some shops

Is where the snipers sometimes hide

He left his home the week before

He thought he'd be like the police

But now he finds he is at war

"Weren't we supposed to keep the peace"



And who will have won

When the soldiers have gone

From the Lebanon

The Lebanon

The Lebanon

From the Lebanon



I must be dreaming

It can't be true

I must be dreaming

It can't be true



And who will have won

When the soldiers have gone?

From the Lebanon

The Lebanon

The Lebanon

From the Lebanon
