Verse 1:
Its January 1970
do you remember me
You put me on a boat across
the sea in the name of victory
But much to my surprised when I
arrived there was no welcoming committee
Instead there was a man for me to
kill and now I see all this too real
Refrain:
Then I saw him standing
with a bayonet
and as I ran towards
him he hardly broke a sweat
When I took his life
he fell to his knees
And as his eyes began to
fade he whispered softly
Chorus 1:
Godspeed this letter
away from here
I've sealed it with my tears
and stomped it with my
fists And godspeed this
letter away from you
My work down here is through
I'm on my way to better
days and so are you
Verse 2:
I'm in his pocket that I saw the
picture of his children and his
family And I began to realize this
person I despised, in actuality
Was not much different from
myself we probably could have
taught each other many things
And now I know its much too
ate although I couldn't hesitate
GI checked his gun and
his chamber was empty
(Repeat Refrain)
Choru 2:
Godspeed this letter
away from here
I've sealed it with my tears
and stomped it with my
fists And godspeed this
letter away from you
My work down here is through
I'm on my way to better
days and so are you
Bridge:
o-ho We know not
what we've done
And o--ho We know
not what we've done
Chorus 3:
Godspeed this letter
away from here
I've sealed it with my tears
and stomped it with my
fists And godspeed this
letter away from you
My work down here is through
I'm on my way to better
C(hold)
days and so are you
