He was born in the western heartland
In a farming-grace town
Spent his days in the country
Before the war came
Eighteen years and runnin'
He had his life along his side
Then he turned the page
In Vietnam, he died
The news spread like wildfire
Anger strikes around
A boy of youth from the country
Forced to leave his town
Setting for the future
He took his past along the ride
As he boards the plane and waves goodbye
On the lines and in the fire
We remember what he fought for
On the cross, were we mistaken
In a war that proved unjust
Innocence under pressure
For Vietnam, rolling thunder
Left a girl that he once cared for
Their love could stand all time
Two hearts beating in distance at two different times
We all propose the question
For the reason we have to fight
Then the telephone rings
Now our boy has died
On the lines and in the fire
We remember what he fought for
On the cross, were we mistaken
In a war that proved unjust
Innocence under pressure
For Vietnam, rolling thunder
The town spectates in silence
As the body is laid down
Into the earth that once had brought him the flash of existence
We regress upon his visions
Of the world he seeked to find
At the truth we meet: depraved mankind
