ONE WHO CAME HOME

When I left for 'Nam I was a Man

Now I don't know who the hell  I am

Knowing my own mind is a thing of the past

"My God, who am I? How long will this last?

Who was I before?  What was my life?

Can't seem to focus, Do I have a wife?

They sent me home after a long VA Stay

"Don't worry son you'll  be OK"

Flashbacks of horror, are all I can see

Don't understand what's happening to me

People stare when i walk the streets

I feel so lonely, I am so weak

I fought a war, Don't even know why

My eyes are glassy, I'm  going to cry

Please help me Lord, for I am lost

I'm paying the price, "what a cost"

There's more like me scattered all over this land

Help them to Lord, Help every Man

It's beside you my Master, where  I must be

Because this land,  is not for me
