Back in Nam

Back in Vietnam
The days were long and lives were short
People were dying and bullets were flying

Back in Vietnam
Fires were burning and people were running
bomb shells bursting and houses exploding

Back in Vietnam
Friends were lost and children used guns
shooting their friends and others alike

Back in Vietnam
Life was hard and families were crying
Bodies from the war brought back

Back in the States
Family's weep for their dead loved ones
as they watch the body be laid to rest
children cry for their parents lost

Back in the States
Children grow up to join the war
families lose sons and daughters, the same

Back in the States
There is no war
there is opportunity
there is life
there is freedom

Back in the States
Life is not lost but found
