Lyrics
I'm sending you these letters Across miles and miles of water Tell Stevie that I saw his friend And the mother that I love her Well, I know I haven't been here long And I know it seems much longer But every letter you write back Makes me a little stronger Everybody here has been as many years as me But only now they realize what they are here to see So I'll take my pen and I write you a note And send it off in a letter And we'll hope that writing my troubles down Will make me feel better One step forward and one step left I raise my gun and I take my aim I'm just a pawn in the government's game The first day I was posted Was the longest I have known I can't believe the bitterness The human heart can show The hatred of another is a blindness in their eyes All I do is stand between them Wondering why One step forward and one step left I raise my gun and I take my aim I'm just a pawn in the government's game Little boy stands with stones in hand And cold eyes of steel I wish I could throw my riffle down And tell them how I feel Well, I know I haven't been here long And I know it seems much longer But every letter you post to me Makes me a little stronger, stronger
