These Dreams We Dream

The cost of surviving is carrying on our shoulders the weight of all those that did not. The cost of not surviving is having placed that weight on our brothers shoulders.  The price of taking another person's life is meeting them each night and revisiting their final moments.  The ultimate price, however, is not in taking someone's life but rather in the inability to save one.  That is a weight that far exceeds the pressure of all the oceans.


These dreams we dream
of names we can not pronounce
and faces we can not forget
These dreams we dream
of places few have ever seen
These dreams we dream
they never leave us
These dreams we dream
we can still hear them scream
in These dreams we dream
it is the price we pay
not just on memorial day
These dreams we dream
