Runaway Soldier

IT KEEPS COMING BACK, EVERY TIME I CLOSE MY EYES

MISSILES FROM EVERY DIRECTION, FALLING FROM THE SKIES.

LOOKING FOR OUR SUPERIORS, WHERE DID THEY GO?

IT LEAVES ME TO WONDER, DID THEY KNOW?

GRABBED MY GEAR, WOKE UP MY BROTHERS,

BECAUSE IT'S NOW ONLY US, AND APPARENTLY NO OTHER

CANT BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING, FEELS LIKE A MOVIE FROM

HOLLYWOOD

BUT WHY WOULD THEY LEAVE US, WHEN WE’RE HERE TO DO

GOOD?

WE'RE BEING CHASED, SAND HITS MY FACE

AND NOW I CAN’T FEEL SAFE, EVEN IN MY OWN PLACE.

NIGHTMARES, NIGHT SCARES, WAKING UP IN SWEAT

THIS IS A TRAUMA I CAN NEVER FORGET.

BUT I REMEMBER NOW THAT I AM NOT ALONE

I HAVE MY AUNTIE AND GRANDMA, AND THEY ARE MY HOME

AND MY NEW FRIENDS FROM GROUP THERAPY,

I CAN ALWAYS RELY ON THEM WHEN I FEEL MY ANXETY.

I KNOW I WILL HAVE MY GOOD DAYS AND BAD,

BUT NOW I HAVE SOMETHING I NEVER HAD,

I HAVE SUPPORT FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS, SHOULDER TO

SHOULDER,

AND I NO LONGER HAVE TO BE THAT RUNAWAY SOLDIER.
