THE GHOSTS OF WAR
He said goodbye to his wife
He left to do battle a proud American
He paid for his bravery with his life
This scenario happens again and again
Too many flag draped coffins have arrived on our shore
Too many tears have been shed
Too many politicians are not keeping score
Too many warriors coming home dead
He left with a patriotic heart
Proud that his parents would boast
But war tore his young soul apart
And he lives his life with a battle scarred ghost
Too many minds cracked and broken
Too many bloody bodies they'll be dreaming about
Too many vivid stories go unspoken
Too many young people wake up screaming out loud
