Anonymous Man

ANONYMOUS MAN
Words & Music by Eric Myers & Steve Siler

You might think you know me
But I won’t let you in
to keep you from the sting of
what I’ve seen and where I’ve been
The battlefields are haunting me
behind these vacant eyes
I’m a ghost of who I once was
like countless other guys

My wounds are invisible
There are scars you cannot see
When you ask me how I’m doing
I push down the memories
A faint hope still lingers
Deep inside this hardened heart
I’m in here but you don’t know who I am
I’m the anonymous man

My nightmares are a prison
with pictures far too real
If I’m gonna keep my sanity
I can’t afford to feel
Underneath the silence
I’m crying out in pain
and trying to find a reason
just to live another day

My wounds are invisible
There are scars you cannot see
When you ask me how I’m doing
I push down the memories
A faint hope still lingers
Deep inside this hardened heart
I’m in here but you don’t know what I am
I’m the anonymous man

Don’t give up on me
‘cause I’m in here somewhere
Fighting for the life that I once knew

My wounds are invisible
There are scars you cannot see
When you ask me how I’m doing
I push down the memories
A faint hope still lingers
Deep inside this hardened heart
I’m in here, please keep searchin’ if you can
for the anonymous man

A Warriror's Prayer

A Warrior’s Prayer
David Cooper, Chaplain, Col, USAF(Ret)

O God hear my prayer
I am a warrior
I answered my country’s call and I trained to do my job well
I served in a foreign land against an enemy I could not see
My comrades stood with me
and together we fought those who had terrorized innocent people

Death was all around and it exploded suddenly without warning
My Buddies died
But I did not die
I came home

Today the conflict has ended but I am still at war
The fighting plays over and over and over in my mind!
I cannot sleep
I am filled with anger fed by guilt and fear and loneliness
I’m like a ship adrift in a sea of depression and despair

Merciful God hear my cry!
Grant me relief from the terrors of the night
Heal my physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wounds
I know I must move on with my life
But I need your help

And so I pray for enough faith to have hope
and enough hope to love and trust again

Hear my prayer Lord
Hear my prayer and give me peace
….deep peace in my soul

Amen
