Description: This is inspired by and written for the family and friends that I have "Over There"......and who has ever gone "Over There"...
If you are looking for politics or anti and pro-war propaganda, I'm afraid you won't find it here.....
Before you read this, say a prayer for those
"Over There"
Over There -------------------------------------------
The time has come
For somebody, to go over there
You can hear the beat of the drum
As they get ready to go over there
It's time to face it
There's no more hiding
Fear has come out
There's no need to trace it
Over there
Over there
Where somebody is gonna die
Change will be in somebodys life
A father
A mother
A son
A daughter
Cousin
Or grandparent
But it's apparent
As they get ready to go
Over there
Over there
There's gonna be tears shed
There's gonna be things said
That certain people will cherish forever
There's gonna be things done
Actions that can't be undone
That people will remember forever
Kids will have nightmares
As they realize, that mama and daddy
May not be bringing home a teddybear
The soldiers will face numerous scares
Pregnant wifes
Beauty pagents
All-Star little league
All this weight, plus the pack
Can give a man fatigue
Over there
Over there
Somebody has to go
Over there
They have their doubts
As their mind roams the clouds
His wife goes through it too
Trying to keep in touch
With an "I love you"
Every bullet has a name
Whether it's mama
Or their daughter Jane
Battling to stay the same
Tears keep flowing like the rain
Sweet dreams cover the noise
As they think of their girls and boys
Sweet home apple pie
Covers the nightmare
That somebody has to die
Over there
Over there
They get ready to go
Over there
Death is something that is not the end people need to realize that a persons memory lasts forever How many times have you heard a relative talk about there grandmother and then it just keeps getting passed on thru time Not even to mention the fact that life is Eternal Its the beauty of life everlasting God Bless Ron
And thank you for your recent comments I look forward to more of your writings Take Care Ron
man i liked this. the war has claimed too many lives. i'm proud of our soldiers for fighting but they're not even really fighting in our country's defense. it's just a personal vendetta of bush's which is causing good people to lose their lives.

I'll never pretend to know what it's like OVER THERE...but...after listening to him explain it..and watching or more like hearing...him live it..I have so much respect...for the men and women that are there.

OMG Ben. That really touched me deep down. That to me ranks up there in the touching lyrics with Arlington. I could here Trace singing it in my head as I read it. Keep em coming hun.
Dylanpoe? Is that you? Now, I must admit that there for a little while...you got away from yourself...but this is the you I originally remember. Such heart and devotion was put into this piece. I love it!
I'm not saying that any of your recent pieces were bad...they were good...they just were a little off from the "original" you I met a LONG time ago.
