Thousands miles from home
Moving all the time
Trying to keep my spirits high
Saving every dime

Have no clue when I’ll be home
Or if I will at all
How I’ll act around the ones I love
Wondering who ill never call

Where I leave a trace of me
Some will surely follow
If I ever had to see a life taken
That would be a huge lump to swallow

So I inhale all that I can
And cherish every opportunity
To get to know the lives and people
Of this devastated Iraqi community

I am using this trip to determine
The woman I really am
And finding out my life before
Was nothing more then a sham

It’s a little bit upsetting
To realize it took leaving
Before I finally woke up
To find my insides were bleeding

I was lost in routine
And had forgotten my way
Now I have it all together
Just waiting for the day

The day my plans will take affect
To live my life of dreams
It’s all really quite interesting
And it’s as real as it all seems

So when this war is over
My dreams I will fulfill
The girl in me won’t take over
But I know the woman will.
