lyrics

Woke up in the middle of the night
To the sound of breaking glass
Ran over to the window
And was knocked back on my ass
A light filled the room
Much brighter than the sun
Thought it was the end of time
The human race was all but done

A star fell down on Indiana
Just like it did in the beginning of time
We all turned out to see what happened
Some of us laughed and some of us cried
And together we held onto each other's hands
Until the last of us had died

Went to the fairgrounds
But the blast had destroyed it
The carousel was crushed
Thought about how much we'd enjoyed it
Some of us were injured
And some were nearly dead
Some were talking on their cellphones
To see how bad and how widespread

Thought I might escape unscathed
But I was still in heavy shock
Then I saw my bloody hands
As I sat down on a rock
Cars were exploding
And babies they were screaming
I saw you draw one last breath
It was then I knew I was not dreaming
