Year after year I''ve been trying to hide
that I'm still fighting a War deep down inside
I've tried so hard to put the War behind
But those traumatic memories keep fresh in my mind
LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY
I still dream at night about the things that I saw
I was just a kid not much more
I see my friends' faces I saw them fall
I keep seeing their names, etched on that long wall
LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY
For me the War's been over for thirty years
So why when I think about it I find myself in tears
Please someone tell me do we really deserve
to suffer like this from trying to serve?
LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY
I keep asking myself, is it a doctor I need?
I keep hearing those moans from the wards of Walter Reed
Intrusive thoughts keep entering my mind
Why is inner peace so hard to find?
I search my soul did I do any wrong?
Strangely I keep hearing that one special song
"WE GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS PLACE IF IT'S THE LAST THING WE EVER DO"
LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY
