To The Vietnam War...

Setting off to Vietnam
Feeling proud, feeling strong
But then I see the fear in another soldier's eyes
I should turn around, go home

I have made one friend
We both feel the same
The fear inside hurts like hell
Do people think war is a game?

Here we are at Vietnam
Now I feel really sick
To see dead bodies on the ground
The fear has come over me quick

I've never been a killing kind of man
Who likes blood and gore
To think of killing someone makes me nervous
I don't think I like war anymore

I slide on my army suit
Light green, dark green, grey
My daughter's birthday's in this month
The beautiful month of May

I touch my army gun
And load it up with bullets
To kill someone would be terrible
I don't think I can do it

I run out with my troop
My stomach's going psycho
The guns start firing wildly
My knees are wobbling, I don't want to go

I pull the trigger
And fire the gun
At some random person
This is not my kind of fun

I hear a loud BOOM
A bomb is near by
Then I hear a BANG
A bullet hit me in the eye...

I fall to the ground
Covered in mud
I clench my eye
My hand's full of blood.

This wasn't my choice
To be here today
To leave my family
I'm going to die in this way.

I fall to the ground
I'm going to heaven
I say bye to my wife
And my daughter who's seven

To this day we remember
The Vietnam War
The soldiers who died
That left us sore

Lest we forget
