Unless you have walked in my shoes

Don't say you understand

If you've never fought a battle in a foreign land

There are no words that can describe

The hell that we went through

Yet we remained on the battlefield

To defend this land for you

We were taught to shoot and kill the enemy on sight

And to keep our eyes wide open especially at night

Now that we are back from war it's hard for us to cope

So many of us just give up as we feel there is no hope

We ask you to take us seriously and our message heed

Please make it possible for us to get the help we need
