This is my vietnam, a place where words replace bombs.

Our souls have been scattered.


Our shelters been shattered.


Broken and beaten, so we seem to be battered.

Now i've got to struggle, but i know i will strive.


And I'll carry you with me until I'm not alive.




Chorus:


This is my vietnam.


Where words replace bombs.

Souls have been scattered.


Shelters are shattered.


Losing the battle we have been battered.

Life is struggle, but i will survive.


And I'll carry you with me until i'm not alive.




It's that look on your face.


It's missing this place.


It's pleading my case.

It's leaving a trace.


It's about trying to survive.


Lonely as i am

i'll carry you with me


until i'm not alive.




Chorus:(x's 2)


This is my vietnam.


Where words replace bombs.

Souls have been scattered.


Shelters are shattered.


Losing the battle we have been battered.

Life is struggle, but i will survive.


And I'll carry you with me until i'm not alive.




Bridge: (x's 4) I want to survive. So i'll carry you with me


until i'm not alive




Chorus; (one time)


This is my vietnam.

Where words replace bombs.


Souls have been scattered.

Shelters are shattered.

Losing the battle we have been battered.


Life is struggle, but i will survive.

And I'll carry you with me until i'm not alive.
