I wrote this letter for you
And the kids to help them get through
These long roads and late nights ahead
Wishing I could stay home instead
It’s hard to know what I should write
In case I slip away in the night
I’ll sign it as Bradley not Brad,
But to them I’ll be Daddy not Dad.
Every day, yes I will
Hold you and kiss you and tell you that we’ll be just fine
Every night, I’ll have to
Call and apologize and tell you guys that I’m still OK
I wrote this letter for you
To tell you all that I feel confused
I’m wrestling with feelings detached
Like a state champ that finally met his match
So I’ll grab my coat and head out
To the hospital a few miles south
By working I’m saving some strangers
But putting my family in danger
Every day, yes I will
Hold you and kiss you and tell you that we’ll be just fine
Every night, I’ll have to
Call and apologize again
I rush past the TV’s with subtitles on
Past people on gurneys waiting to find out what’s wrong
Fred just rolled out, he won’t be making it ’til morning
But I’ve got no time for these to tears to start pouring
And all I think about this whole shift
Is I can’t touch my mouth but it’s still craving your lips
I’m married to the job yes it’s true
When I should’ve been married to you
I’ll be a hero to them
With the rest in memoriam
Or will I be known to my boys
As a man who made the wrong choice

What a Wonderful World

I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue
And clouds of white
The bright blessed days
The dark sacred nights
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colours of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Also on the faces
Of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
What they're really saying
Is "I love you"
I hear babies cry,
I watch them grow
They'll learn so much more
Than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
And I think to myself
What a wonderful...world
