Graduation Day
sweat and mothballs
grass so green
...
Ten million soldiers to the war have gone,
Who may never return again.
Ten million mothers' hearts must break,
For the ones who died in vain.
...
We have never spoken
but yet we know so much about each other
We have never seen one another
but yet we can draw every fine detail in each face
...
Do not weep, maiden, for war is kind.
Because your lover threw wild hands toward the sky
And the affrighted steed ran on alone,
Do not weep.
...
I have walk
The line which you stand on
But do you realize it
I have dreamed
...
If you are my friend why have you not spoken the words?
If you are my friend why have you turned and walked away?
If you are my friend why have you taken the other side?
If you are my friend why have you insulted me?
...
I remember the day at the beach
I remember the hot sand burning my feet
I remember how cold the ocean felt
and how my skin seemed to sizzle in the heat
...
Suitcase packed with all his things
Car pulls up, the doorbell rings
He don't want to go
He thought he'd found his home
...
We leave our home in the morning,
We kiss our children goodbye,
While we slave for the bosses,
Our children scream and cry.
...
Memorial Day
so many flowers broken off
on the ground
...
