ONE STEP F |
|
ORWARD 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. - |
