To wake up gazing at the future
Aware of the pain of our nation
It was so very long ago I know
But it feels like only yesterday
Memories are worse in ways
Than the events of our history
Alive while in a daze of disaster
With constant wars since the day
War stole my son's generation
Many lives poured into a grinder
These constant wars of man
Are causing moral stagnation
And hope's starvation
