BATTLEFIELD NURSE
When will it end cried the nurse that night
As she sat on her cot alone
How many more will be felled in the fight
How many heartaches be sown
Why am I here in this Hell on earth
How do I face one more day
I'm here for a reason God only knows
Are my nerves strong enough for the stay
Seeing these bodies all ragged and torn
Broken and bleeding and blind
Miles from their loved ones
Calling for help
I'll stay for this special kind
Pour me some coffee for I hear a plane
And I know there will be one or two
Who will need me tonight in this tent with no name
Yes, I guess God I'm here for You.
