This and So Much More

from Lavender Moonshine by Tret Fure

/

lyrics

You walk these halls so sterile and silent
Empty beds still damp from the tears of the lonely
If there had only been their families here with them
The echoes sound through chambers of longing
No visiting hours, no way that you can ease their yearning
it’s like a burning that won’t leave them

Chorus

How will you ever be the same
You’re bone tired and soul spent
Nothing you ever imagined
From the work that you knew you were meant to do
You were meant to do so much more than this
This and so much more

The hours are endless but it’s not about the pay
It’s the promise you made to care for the ones who need you
And it feeds you and gives you a purpose
But this particular time is breaking you down
The losses are more than you ever imagined you’d deal with
And you feel this deep under the surface

Chorus

Bridge
You’ve always been ready to serve on the front lines
To fight for those who need you to fight
To press on and do whatever it takes to beat the odds
But these odds are more than you ever imagined
Imagine

One more patient is gone, and one is sent home
Could it possibly be, does it really seems like it’s easing
Or is it teasing you into believing
The shifts aren’t as long but still when you get home,
There’s so much that you have to face, cause you can’t erase it,
Can’t shake the unending grieving

Chorus
