In honor of Veterans Day; to those who currently serve, have served and in memory of Americas fallen hero’s I share my song ‘While The World Sleeps’
WHILE THE WORLD SLEEPS
Words & music by Rob Anthony
I don’t know why lately I cry
It seems like this life treats me so good
But the view I see on late night TV
The nightmares have caught up with me
It says please believe
With no signs of relief
In all its glory lies misery
While the world sleeps
I’m down on my knees
Praying for those all in need
While the world sleeps
I’m praying to see
The wings of a dove flying free
John was a friend
Who swore to defend
A nation down on its knees
He packed his bags
Set off to sea
To fight for what he truly believed
The news today
Said he passed away
John was a hero they say
While the world sleeps
I’m down on my knees
Praying the fight brings a little peace
While the world sleeps
I’m waiting to see
A rain wash away the misery
Bring on the rain
On and on around it goes
On and on around we go
If faith is the key
When will we see
The wings of a dove flying free…

Wounded Warrior Project’s Mission: Veterans Day is a time to remember and honor the sacrifice of our returning heroes, more than 40,000 of whom has been wounded in recent conflicts. The needs of these wounded warriors and the estimated 300,000 (RAND 2007) veterans battling post-traumatic stress disorder and depression will require specialized attention for years to come. We provide services and programs that ease the burden of the wounded and their families, aid in the recovery process, and smooth their transition back to civilian life.
On an personal Note: This hits home with me as my father served and lost his life long battle upon returning wounded. The memories of my father and the nightmares that haunted him ’til his last breath will never be forgotten. The Wounded Warrior Project is very important to me; to give back through my music to help others in their time of need.
A sincere peace & love,
Rob Anthony
