Remember

(앨범: State Of The World Address - 1994)

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
We remember!

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

Memories of families
It's God I've known
Take me home

People think they understand
Watching TV on quiet land
They spit on you
Now we'll spit back for you

Our hearts, our voice, gift of our hands
What can they do for you
And those who served and those who died?
We pay respect to the families who still cry

We remember!
Memories of families
It's God I've known
Take me home

Your kids are now full-grown
With the love and pride you should have known
Back when your country brought you home
Still now you fight the tears and face your fears each day
But the horrors of fact won't go away
For MIAs or POWs to this day
We remember and pray for you
