[Chill Instrumental intro] [Emotional] [Verse 1] This song begins in a town nearby, Where the veterans gather each morning. In the halls of the V A, where they sit and they wait, For service that seems to be stalling. ooooOoo [Verse 2] With medals and memories, they come through the door, Forgotten Heroes sent to war. But the clock on the wall, it just ticks and it tocks, As they wait for the care they implore. OOOoOOoo [Piano Solo 1] [Chorus 1] And the days turn to weeks, and the weeks into months, As they sit in the waiting room chairs. With a sigh and a glance, they remember the past, And the promise that brought them here. ooOooOOoooh [Verse 3] The nurses and doctors, they bustle about, But the veterans still make no sound. For the pain in their hearts, and the ache in their bones, Are the burdens they carry around. oooOOO [Verse 4] In the silence, they whisper of days long ago, When they stood tall and brave in the glow. Now they’re shadows of men, with their stories untold, In the unforgiving V A's shadow. OooO [Chorus 2] And the days turn to weeks, and the weeks into years, As they sit in the waiting room chairs. With a sigh and a glance, they remember the past, And the promise that brought them here. OOoooOOOo [Bridge] Oh, the halls of the V A, they echo with time, In the steps of those left behind. And the promise of care, it fades in the air, As the veterans wait in line. [Piano Solo 2] [Verse 5] So here’s to the soldiers, who’ve walked this long road, With the weight of their service bestowed. May they find peace and rest, in the care they deserve, And the honor that they’ve always known. *sigh* [Piano solo 3] [Chorus 3] And the days turn to weeks, and the weeks into years, As they sit in the waiting room chairs. With a sigh and a glance, they remember the past, And the promise that brought them here. ooooh, ooooooh *oooh [Passionate Outro] The story goes on, in the halls of the V A, Where the veterans gather each day. With hope in their hearts, they wait for the call, In the place where their memories stay. *oooh yeaaaah* *sigh* [Instrumental Outro]
