Somewhere in Vietnam
a nineteen year old soldier stumbled from a bar room
he said I must be seeing things
that bourbon hit me like a baseball bat
In BelfastIreland a little lady dropped her shovel in her garden
as she raced across her yard to ask her neighbor Mrs. Clancy
what was that?
In MemphisTennesse a teacher raised the closest to the river
and the children in her classroom swore they heard a choir singin down the street
In WashingtonD.C. a private secretary s lips began to quiver
and the President just put aside some papers and rose quickly to his feet
I lay in a cheap motel in the arms of someone else s woman
when a loud explosion rocked the room and turned the morning into night
I jumped out of bed and ran into the street with hardly any clothes on
and as the sky lit up my heart stood still and I could feel my face turn white
All at once the clouds rolled back and there stood Jesus Christ in all his glory
and I realized the saddest eyes I d ever seen were lookin straight at me
I guess I was awakened by the penetrating sound of my own screaming
it didn t take me long to stumble out of bed and fall down on my knees
as tears rolled down my face I cried Dear God I m thankful I was only dreaming.
If I never go to hell Lord its because you scared it out of me.
