UNSUNG HERO
I remember back ten years ago, the final fall of Saigon
Charlie ramblin' unopposed; ARVN's on the run
I walked alone inside a park, as bells sang in the sky
I tried to sort my thinking out, but all I did was cry
So many years of battle, for another countries land
When finally left to defend themselves, they were blown away like sand, and
I remember our jets and gunships, marines and Freedom Hill
Bastion of freedom now taken at Charlie's will
How can you right a war fought wrong, with its warriors treated worse
It's just a useless subject now, the memory such a curse
Oh give us back our precious years, eighteen to twenty-one
The years of empty loneliness when we came home unsung
Yes I remember back ten years ago, the final fall of Saigon
Charlie ramblin' unopposed; ARVN's on the run
I'll walk alone now ten years passed, bells may sing in the sky
I'll still try to sort my thinking out but all I'll do is cry
Yes I still tried to sort my thinking out
But all I did was cry
