[JOHN] It's not you It's war that's cruel And if some dreams get smashed Perhaps it's best they were [CROWD] and [KIM] There is no one to find here! They have left us behind here! [JOHN] Wake up, my friend Your mercy trip has failed There's nothing you can do, That ship has sailed She's not the only one we'll have Betrayed [CROWD] Get to the roof, or els we are betrayed! (The CROWD tries to vatter down the fences) [KIM] (in the yard) Oh Chris- I still believe! The heart of you Is here with me My heart, against all odds, Holds Still (On the Emba**y roof, the last helicopter lands, CHRIS runs up and down the wall, shouting for KIM. Finally he is forced to board the helicopter - which takes off. The nightmare pa**es - KIM is in her little room with TAM)
