A warrior's fight isn't over when the war ends.
The Town That Never Sleeps

In the town that never sleeps
a young woman sits and weeps
hospital machines’ incessant beeps
her constant vigil keeps.

A thousand miles away
on a dark and dreary day
bombs flew through the gray
in the desert sand the devil did play.

A young life wholly rearranged
as bullets young soldiers exchanged
news came from the estranged
a young love forever changed.

A city’s hero lays in the midst
our country raises a fist
her husband’s life dismissed
but fate had a loving twist.

In the town that never sleeps
a young soldier sits and weeps
hospital machines’ silent beeps
his constant vigil keeps.
