In the middle of the night I lie in bed,
Fighting an enemy that's in my head.
An enemy that's always there,
An enemy that won't play fair.
An enemy that haunts my mind,
An enemy that is not kind.
The price paid for doing good,
Of doing like I'm told I should.
Serving my country in time of war,
Who could ever ask for more?
And now even in my deepest dreams,
All I hear is the sound of screams.
Why was I the one to survive?
Why was I the one left alive?
I ask myself every night,
As I relive every fight.
God, please call me home,
Don't leave me here all alone.
For when I thought the fight was won,
I'm finding the battle's just begun.
A soldier who was trained to kill,
Finds a battle that's harder still.
Fighting an enemy I cannot see,
And finding out the enemy is me.
An enemy that haunts my mind,
An enemy that is not kind.
