Come Take Us Home |
 |
|
We did our jobs, and we did them well
and because of
fate, we're in this "Hell"!
We're POWs and MIAs...
Still living with hope... still counting the days.
We're out of sight, and out of mind...
Almost
forgotten... by all mankind.
But there are those, who
seek to find...
those of us, still left behind.
For we still trust that we'll be found,
and then be freed
and homeward bound.
We don't know how, that will be
done...
But we believe that day will come!
The war
goes on, for us that wait...
another day... another date.
And those we love so far away...
Are in our hearts
each passing day.
We pray to God for our release...
So we can have some lasting peace.
We're POWs and
MIAs...
Come take us home... why not today? |
