I’m sending you these letters
Across miles and miles of water
Tell Stevie that I saw his friend
And the 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 realize 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 I’ll hope that writing these troubles down
Will make me feel better
One step forward and 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
Across miles and miles of water
