| Here’s a dedication
|
| To the men and women who’ve served in Vietnam
|
| From our generation to you and your family…
|
| Respect is long overdue
|
| Memories of blood, red, white, blue
|
| Orange skies at night, southeast Asia knew
|
| You were called to serve and you did it well
|
| For us you’ve made a round-trip through hell
|
| Wars within wars, within wars
|
| To survive you made your own laws
|
| Every day and night to stay alive
|
| You kept your head down and your powder dry
|
| Memories of families
|
| It’s God i’ve known
|
| Take me home
|
| Now you live asking God why
|
| He didn’t take you when your brothers all died
|
| Explosions shake the dreams in your head at night in bed
|
| Don’t wake him up or you’ll end up dead
|
| Try to understand his pain
|
| He still sees blood stains that remain
|
| In his heart and mind, try to numb the pain
|
| People think they understand
|
| Sat watching TV back on quiet land |
