The Nurse Lyrics

She left her home and family at the age of seventeen.

She went off to college to find the American Dream

Studied hard and got the grades first in the family to be degreed

Joined the Army as a nurse to be all she could be

She didn't do it for the glory it was more of a need

A deep rooted feeling something she believed

To make a difference in the world of insanity

To care for people to touch humanity

Like the nurses that came before in every single war

She saw the scars of battle like every nurse before

At night she'd say her prayers with the strength of 15 men

To be woken by the sounds of war and have to save lives again

Didn't do it for the glory it was more of a need

A deep rooted feeling something she believed

To make a difference in a world of insanity

To care for people to touch humanity

Her hands were stained for days

As she worked hours on end

To save the lives of people

That violence sought to end

Now she works in freedom

In the land of the brave

Seeing the worst humanity can do

To the people she's trying to save

As she wrote her last words in a journal she's kept for years

All the pages became stained from the falling of her tears

It was the years of frustration and the pain she kept inside

For Every soul she tried to save that she couldn't keep alive

Didn't do it for the glory it was more of a need

A deep rooted feeling something she believed

To make a difference in a world of insanity

To care for people to touch humanity
