Not Your Turn

Here we are
back home again
Waiting around
For this to end

And hoping that
He’ll return.

Here we are
Alone crying
Dreaming of
Our loved one dying

And praying that
It’s not his turn.

Writing letters
And hoping for the better
Is all we can do
Praying to the Lord
And crying some more
While waiting for the truth
Hiding from the fear
Running away from here
Until you return
And in my heart I wish
That it’s not your turn
