Andrea Pearson-Haas, Crescenda - VFW

VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars)

"Why are you at the Vfw?"

"I am hiding from the press"

"This is a great place to hide! Welcome to the Vfw!"

Intro
To you it’s just another watering hole
Until We All Come Home
The hole in my soul filled by ranks that made me whole
When time is no longer a crime
Welcome home, Welcome home
As if a hand up was not a hand out
When time is no longer a crime
& the wheel in the sky burns out

Chorus
I don’t know what I’m herе for
Except that I have servеd
I am not sure that
This is what I deserve

First Verse

There is no better nightmare
Returning home where freedom might dare
To find promises were emptied
Into the graves we wreath Uncle Sam’s Creed
It might not be the right time where you’re from
I’ve had my fair share of shaking hands with the politician
Ordinarily behind my scars
Battles get carried around no matter how far
Chorus
I don’t know what I’m here for
Except that I have served
I am not sure that
This is what I deserve

Second Verse

There will never be peace within me
If I am depraved of the life we gave
While we are all not here today
You don’t have to live with the same ghosts
The War Machine isn’t what hurts the most

Faking a smile, it was all worth while
I keep the secrecy in exchange for your liberty
& you know nothing about me at all
Just another look in a history book
United We Stand, Divided We Fall

Chorus
I don’t know what I’m here for
Except that I have served
I am not sure that
This is what I deserve
