America Wake Up











Time has come for a country to try
And find its way up to the sky

Viet Nam is an everyday sound
With people sharing losses they've found

At home the marchers rave and cheer
But people who lose shed only a tear

With protesting and dodging at full swing
'America' wake up and see one thing

The war over here will never end
Until the homeland is together again
