The Lebanon Lyrics

The Lebanon lyrics

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
