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.
