Did you see them go off to fight
The children of the barricade that didn't last the night
With guns in hand and hearts so true
Waving the flag marked red white and blue
The little French boys discussing how to light the flame
To them it was anything but a game
The boys sat around a table talking for hours
Until their wine became oh so sour
They took action with a plan
It was during a funeral for one man
For two days they bled
Until all but one was dead
For his friends, he will cry
Until all the tears have gone dry
He and his wife would tell the story
Of the brave men that died in glory
And at the end of the day
They would look up at the people and say
Did you see them go off to fight
The children of the barricade that didn't last the night
