this is for
6:52 p.m. - 2005-05-08
this is for the dreamer
that sees no need for laws
this is for the wild child
looking for a cause
this is for the mother
who waits without her child
this is for the bright young man
whos future's been defiled
mary waits by the door
but hes not coming home
she can hope and pray until shes old
she'll still be alone
charlie's mother reads his letter
its the last one he will write
everything seemed just fine
until the bombs went off that night
this is for the soldier
whos dying needlessly
this is for the swinger
who still don't feel free
this is for the sister
who cannot find her god
this is for us all
mourning for the lost
this is for every father
that lives without his son
this is for everyone lost
in a battle that can't be won
lily can't hear her little brother cry
she wasn't there to see him bleed
or hear him scream out
why?
