• Only 18 but gets confused everyday
    I only want to get away
    the fear goes on smothering us
    vietnam had my feelings on a seesaw
    we could not stop the sun so now its a free fire zone
    so much for chasing mr. charlie at night
    the plan is wrecked we scatter for cover
    Im shot
    the pain is hard to bear
    At that moment evryones just a shadow
    i see the north star adn long for home but then again
    I'd rather fight and die for freedom then live in fear
    There is a scream and a loud thud A chill goes through me
    I look to my left to see a dead man and nearly scream
    Thge heavens cried for him, tears big and wet.
    we all kept our heads down in the fire flight
    My ammos gone I am completly unarmed
    The wound on my leg burns as I crawl to hide
    I am hiding behind one of our now dead soldiers
    The dead mans eyes are open and glazed
    The firing gets louder so loud I can barely stand it.
    The loud whumps of the helicopter are defeaning
    Everything fades, every sight, and every sound vanish
    The voice of death lures me in
    At ease soldier, at ease
