NO ONE BUT ME
Across the fields of grain
Face wet with a springtime rain
Who lives there? No one but me
Mother and Father working in the fields
The wonderful aroma of one of moms home cooked meals
Who lives there? No one but me
Crawling through the mud and rain
Army training, but not in vain
Who lives there? No one but me
Flying across the ocean wide
Wondering if there will be a place to hide
Who lives there? No one but me
Behind a fallen tree bullets all around
Wishing there was a larger hole in the ground
Who lives there? No one but me
Men asking what shall we do?
Knowing some will be dead when this is through
Who lives there? No one but me
What was thought to be a brave front
Giving commands sometimes it would be nice to be a grunt.
Who lives there? No one but me
Watching young men hurt and dieing
If this doesn't bother me I'd be lying
Who lives there? No one but me
Going home on a jet plane
Mind being held as if by a chain
Who lives there? No one but me
Lying in bed pretending to be asleep
The horrors and misery into my mind do leap
Who lives there? No one but me
A tortured mind and restless sleep
Faces of those lost in a jungle so deep
Who lives there? No one but me
Fighting each day to remember not
A losing battle that cannot be forgot
Who lives there? No one but me
Sharing memories with those who live the same
Trying to understand no one is to blame
Who lives there? They all do, with me
