When you jump in the night,
You’ve been startled with fright.
Must have been scenes from the past,
The vision will never be the last.
When you cry out in the night,
You’ve been startled with fright.
You know the reason, not hearing a sound,
Like trees falling in the forest, no one around.
When you toss n turn, sweat in the night,
You’ve been startled with fright.
Where’s the peace of abundant sleep?
You fill there’s no relief down deep.
When there’s a flash in the night,
You’ve been startled with fright.
Without life, the vision is at end,
The gun the wrong message you send.
