Medals lie inside a drawer

Copyright2021©Carol Corns

Verse 1
How much war must a man endure
When his memories come to the fore?
Why does he have to suffer some more
When the trauma seizes his core


Can’t escape from the past
Reminders of each death and blast
Inside a cage without a key
He’s like a hive without a bee
Seen what never should be seen
Every ounce of energy
Every fibre of his being
Struggles with reality

Oh Oh
Medals lie inside a drawer
No-one knows what they were for (X2)

Verse 2
How many times must the sun go down
Before he stops feeling shadows all around
How many sunrises must he see
Before he can sleep without fear


Can’t escape from the past
Reminders of each death and blast
Inside a cage without a key
He’s like a hive without a bee
Seen what never should be seen
Every ounce of energy
Every fibre of his being
Struggles with reality


Oh Oh
Medals lie inside a drawer
No-one knows what they were fo

How many mountains must a man climb
Before he can get any peace of mind
How many deserts must he tread
Before he can stop the visions in his head

Oh Oh
Medals lie inside a drawer
No-one knows what they were for x 2
