Matthew Wetter Poet Lyric

Wondersong

Well I wonder
If I sleep, 
Will tonight be good dreams? 
Or will the nightmares of the day continue on? 
And if my sleep will not come
Will new worries cease to start? 
Or am I doomed to worry till I'm gone?
And I wonder.

My wife
She's far away
In our home that she's made
From the broken timbers of my broken strife. 
My love, how it tears 
And I wonder if she's aware
She the first thought of my ever
waking life.
And I wonder. 

You see I'm so far
Away from my home
In a little box
Cold, sterile and dark.
While my little boy
He fights
Being ravaged inside
By an enemy that I cannot mark. 
Yeah, I wonder.

Will I ever finally know
Is this how far we can go?
Or will I get to keep somehow driving on?
If I knew just how rough
This journey would be…
The road to love and home 
It seems so long. 
So I wonder.

And I can't stop the tears
Rolling down my face
And the time lost has left me out of place. 
Will my wife her love send?
Will my son go home again?
Or is this just another way to end
All my wonder.
