Troubles mound and you're longing for home Calling the nurse cause you're feeling alone These are the tragic times, no way out The doctor enters the room, is it time? His troubled face gives you all the signs But the answer holds you back from tearful eyes You've been reaching for the bright light since this morning, go tonight The mother still holds on, though her heart is broken now The father is gone, it makes you want to know, just scream out loud One last goodbye, a trooper seeks his home A last breath of life and soon you're on your own One last goodbye, now you see it clear Disappointment running through you, now the end is near
