I gaze into the mirror and there it is again
Staring back at me with those sad eyes
Those long days and longer nights of Vietnam
So many years to forget I have tried
That icy hand that grabs the soul
Forcing me back to the past
Leaving me so empty and cold
Seeking some way to forget at last
Most who know me do not understand
They have never had these dreams
That tear at the mind and hurt a man
Stealing my life like a evil fiend
Lost in my thoughts distance from all around
Not knowing if tomorrow will be better
Remembering all those terrible sounds
Living with all the unseen inter anger
I often pray that it will end someday
Taking me far away in death
Just wanting the pain and sorrow to go away
Longing at last for that finale breath
The one that will set me free
Into the home God has for us all
Where there are no boundaries
And that war never to be recalled
