ONE STEP FORWARD
|
|
I'm sending you these letters across miles and miles of water.
|
Tell Stevie that I saw his friends and mother that I love her.
|
Well, I know I haven't been here long and I know it seems much longer
|
but every letter you write back makes me a little stronger.
|
|
Everybody here has seen as many years as me.
|
It's only now they realise what they are here to see.
|
So I'll take my pen and I'll write you a note and send it off in a letter
|
and we'll hope that writing these troubles down will make me feel better.
|
|
One step forward oir one step left.
|
I raise my gun and I take my aim.
|
I'm just a pawn in the government's game.
|
|
The first day I was posted was the longest I have known.
|
I can't believe the bitterness the human heart can show.
|
The hatred of another is a blindness in their eyes.
|
All I do is stand between them wondering why.
|
|
One step forward oir one step left.
|
I raise my gun and I take my aim.
|
I'm just a pawn in the government's game.
|
|
Little boy stand with stones in hand and cold eyes of steel.
|
I wish I could throw my rifle down and tell him how I feel.
|
Well, I know I haven't been here long and I know it seems much longer
|
but every letter you post to me makes me a little stronger, stronger.
