[00:12.76]I'm sending you these letter's
[00:16.80]Across miles and miles of water
[00:20.46]
[00:21.20]Tell Stevie that I saw his friend
[00:25.50]And the mother that I love her
[00:29.24]
[00:29.77]Well I know I haven't been here long
[00:34.42]And I know it seems much longer
[00:37.57]
[00:38.65]Every letter you write back
[00:42.58]Makes me a little stronger
[00:46.64]
[00:47.92]Everybody here has been
[00:51.84]As many years as me
[00:53.97]
[00:56.04]It's only now they realize
[00:59.80]What they are here to see
[01:01.86]
[01:03.31]So I'll take my pen and
[01:05.97]I write you a note
[01:07.96]And send it off in a letter
[01:12.12]And we'll hope that
[01:13.32]Writing my troubles down
[01:15.86]
[01:16.73]Make me feel better
[01:20.22]
[01:21.09]One step forward and one step left
[01:24.29]
[01:25.02]I raise my gun and I take my aim
[01:28.63]
[01:32.01]I'm just a pawn in the government's game
[01:36.09]
[01:43.15]The first day I was posted
[01:46.16]
[01:47.16]Was the longest I have known
[01:50.71]
[01:52.13]I can't believe the bitterness
[01:56.03]The human heart can show
[01:59.45]
[02:01.20]The hatred of another is
[02:04.38]A blindness in their eyes
[02:08.08]
[02:09.41]All I do is stand between them
[02:13.19]Wondering why
[02:16.61]
[02:17.50]One step forward and one step left
[02:20.68]
[02:21.41]I raise my gun and I take my aim
[02:27.07]
[02:28.32]I'm just a pawn in the government's game
[02:33.18]
[02:57.11]Little boy stands with stones in hand
[03:00.76]
[03:01.83]And cold eyes of steel
[03:04.56]
[03:05.65]I wish I could throw my riffle down
[03:09.21]
[03:10.02]And tell them how I feel
[03:12.08]
[03:13.91]Well I know I haven't been here long
[03:18.74]And I know it seems much longer
[03:22.75]
[03:23.63]But every letter you post to me
[03:27.14]Makes me a little stronger stronger
