war at home

a fallen brother

he's a fallen husband. he's about to be woken in his hospital bed--

he doesn't want to rest; he just wants to run

and he's tired of being told that he's the lucky one. a caped crusader

she's a newborn leader

but you should see her when her daughter's on the phone. and she wipes the tears away

and she laces up because there's still hell to pay

and it sure feels like hell today

today. and she says: you see these hands? they're bruised and brown. they're yours alone. hold on
