A Nation Rocked To Sleep
by Carly Sheehan
Have you ever heard the sound of a mother screaming for her son?
The torrential rains of a mother's weeping will never be done
They call him a hero, you should be glad that he's one, but
Have you ever heard the sound of a mother screaming for her son?
Have you ever heard the sound of a father holding back his cries?
He must be brave because his boy died for another man's lies
The only grief he allows himself are long, deep sighs
Have you ever heard the sound of a father holding back his cries?
Have you ever heard the sound of taps played at your brother's grave?
They say he died so that the flag will continue to wave
But I believe he died because they had oil to save
Have you ever heard the sound of taps played at your brother's grave?
Have you ever heard the sound of a nation being rocked to sleep?
The leaders want to keep you numb so the paid won't be so deep
But if we the people let them continue another mother will weep
Have you ever heard the sound of a nation being rocked to sleep?

I got a call yesterday from my school (I start classes next month) and they informed me I am a finalist for the Kopp Presidential Scholarship! The award is $1,000.00 and it would come in VERY handy for me, a working adult trying to get my BA degree finished.
I have an interview on 7/20 @ 6:30pm Central Standard Time. WISH ME LUCK!

Some people just don't have opinions. Like BobVelez.
BobVelez must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could BobVelez possibly have for not rating a single film?
