Song Lyrics

Passing by the men in line, in uniform
Did you recognize your dad when he tried to smile?
Mealtimes go by and nights are louder now
What did you hear outside that could change your life?
If someone could show you
Who else was there to see what you what you might have dreamed?
Carried through a dusty street then another
Did you wonder what you'd be doing tomorrow?
Crouching down to sleep, to hide while birds watch on high
Did you realise? What did you find?

If someone could show you
Who else was there to see what you might have dreamed?
The cameraman, the flashing lenses, he comes and then he leaves
Was it you he memorised to take this life?
In the cloudless, freezing night you see the satellite
Spreading the news to boys like you but tucked up tight
Morning comes you stumble on and the cameraman appears
And wonders if you hear the click
Rising up

David Brewis, Peter Brewis
