The undertow
dragging me down under
The current
carrying me with each wave of pain
...
No one sees and no one tries
to find the pain in lonely eyes
They're strong and bold they hide the tears
that many people cry in years
...
Dream your dreams my little boy
dream them while you can
For all too soon my little boy
you will be a man
...
The battle-cry went out
and they marched in obedience
for the opportunity
to defend their country
...
He kissed his wife and children goodbye
and with nothing more than the clothes on his back
began his long journey to a better life
...
