BROKEN DREAMS AND SHATTERED PROMISES
by Judy Andreas
You beat me up with empty words and promises then broken
Betrayal came with words withdrawn
Though much was left unspoken
You sent me off to fight your wars
For reasons I opposed
And when I came home sick and maimed
The doors were all slammed closed
I begged for help but none did come
When fever wracked my brain
And ghosts of those whose lives were lost
Had driven me insane
Though much was left unspoken
You sent me off to fight your wars
For reasons I opposed
And when I came home sick and maimed
The doors were all slammed closed
I begged for help but none did come
When fever wracked my brain
And ghosts of those whose lives were lost
Had driven me insane
Yet still I dare to dream the dream
Of how this world could be
and while I've breath, I will not cease
to fight for you and me
Of how this world could be
and while I've breath, I will not cease
to fight for you and me
