The undertow
dragging me down under
The current
carrying me with each wave of pain
...
No one sees and no one tries
to find the pain in lonely eyes
They're strong and bold they hide the tears
that many people cry in years
...
Dream your dreams my little boy
dream them while you can
For all too soon my little boy
you will be a man
...
The battle-cry went out
and they marched in obedience
for the opportunity
to defend their country
...
He kissed his wife and children goodbye
and with nothing more than the clothes on his back
began his long journey to a better life
...
Love has no remorse
when the cold hard truth hits
It has no feelings of sympathy
Nor is kindness
...
Sometimes in fear
I build a wall
But know it is only my self-defense
as your silence is yours
...
I never thought I would love again
but I do
So in love with you
Much more
...
As I watched you walk away
today
I cried
But a strength inside
...
While the sweat on your brow
still lingers
from the sweet night of love
a cool breeze from the open window
...
