A Living Nightmare (GGP 11)

You hear the drums beat You feel the fire’s heat The ground shakes with tremors Beneath your feet You taste the acrid smoke So thick you start to choke This can’t be real but it’s Not a joke A living nightmare (Thoughts and prayers) How much can you bear? (Way over there) It doesn’t seem fair (Don’t despair) We’re sending our prayers (Because we care) You carry your pack When enemies attack The choice you make Will forever be on your back Things are looking grim Tonight, it’s you or him Hope war’s not murder As you watch his eyes dim A living nightmare (Thoughts and prayers) How much can you bear? (Way over there) It doesn’t seem fair (Don’t despair) We’re sending our prayers (Because we care) The cycle never ends One fight is over And another fight begins Then you come home to a marching band Staring at faces that can't understand Why you're so nervous-- "Thank you for your service" "Thank you for your service!" A living nightmare (Thoughts and prayers) How much can you bear? (Way over there) It doesn’t seem fair (Don’t despair) We’re sending our prayers (Because we care) You seem so nervous "Thank you for your service" You seem so nervous "Thank you for your service" Lyrics 2025 Wingfield Ace Music Project
