Don't cry for tomorrow
Pray for today
Act not on your sorrow
Stand and greet another day
Everyday another
Casualty is found
Everyday I wonder
To where is their soul bound
Fathers taken from their families
Never again seen
Brothers sisters mothers children
What does it all mean?
What does it all mean?
Don't cry for tomorrow
Pray for today
Act not on your sorrow
Stand and greet another day
Images of children
Veiled all in black
A mother and a widow
Crying he'll never come back
Funerals all around the country
As the trumpets sound
Sending more troops over
Are all the bodies found?
Are all the bodies found?
Don't cry for tomorrow
Pray for today
Act not on your sorrow
Stand and greet another day
This is a war
Fought on the backs of children
This is our war
Tearing families apart
This is the war
Started in confusion
Maintained in uncertainty
Fighting in frustration and
Taking our lives
Taking more and more American's lives
Don't cry for tomorrow
Pray for today
Act not on your sorrow
Stand and greet another day
Stand and greet another day
Stand and greet another day
For those who aren't alive today
Rise and say a prayer for today

These are lyrics to a song I'm thinking of pitching to my music maker. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
