[00:03.23]
[00:12.60]I'm sending you these letter's
[00:15.49]
[00:16.47]Across miles and miles of water
[00:19.62]
[00:20.75]Tell Stevie that I saw his friend
[00:23.89]
[00:24.76]And the mother that I love her
[00:27.84]
[00:28.68]Well I know I haven't been here long
[00:32.02]
[00:32.82]And I know it seems much longer
[00:34.99]
[00:36.97]Every letter you write back
[00:39.86]
[00:40.45]Makes me a little stronger
[00:43.60]
[00:45.63]Everybody here has see
[00:48.12]
[00:48.65]As many years as me
[00:50.88]
[00:53.21]Only now they realize
[00:55.49]
[00:56.70]What they are here to see
[00:58.80]
[01:00.54]So I'll take my pen and
[01:02.87]I write you a note
[01:04.35]
[01:05.34]And send it off in a letter
[01:07.87]
[01:08.80]And we'll hope that
[01:10.10]Writing my troubles down
[01:11.97]
[01:12.69]Make me feel better
[01:15.80]
[01:17.18]One step forward and one step left
[01:19.93]
[01:20.82]I raise my gun and I take my aim
[01:23.79]
[01:25.24]I'm just a pawn in the government's game
[01:27.88]
[01:35.34]The first day I was posted
[01:37.75]
[01:38.96]Was the longest I have known
[01:41.67]
[01:43.47]I can't believe the bitterness
[01:45.91]
[01:46.89]The human heart can show
[01:49.61]
[01:50.83]The hatred of another is
[01:55.07]A blindness in their eyes
[01:56.90]
[01:58.66]All I do is stand between them
[02:02.55]Wondering why
[02:04.05]
[02:06.36]One step forward and one step left
[02:09.07]
[02:09.74]I raise my gun and I take my aim
[02:12.76]
[02:13.68]I'm just a pawn in the government's game
[02:16.45]
[02:40.31]Little boy stands with stones in hand
[02:43.22]
[02:44.72]And cold eyes of steel
[02:46.56]
[02:47.91]I wish I could throw my riffle down
[02:50.48]
[02:51.75]And tell them how I feel
[02:53.71]
[02:55.92]Well I know I haven't been here long
[02:59.62]
[03:00.15]And I know it seems much longer
[03:02.23]
[03:04.09]But every letter you post to me
[03:06.57]
[03:07.13]Makes me a little stronger stronger
