Our Country 'Tis of Thee...

Well, the memories within my mind
 They're killing me most of the time
  I've seen, the eyes of death
      before It was knocking on my
           door... They
           called it, the
            Viet-Nam
            War
           Yes this
            memory
             inside of me
                 In my mind,
                    for I can
                       see The
                          way we
                           fought
                               and
                               died
                                For our
                               "Country,
                               Tis of Thee"
                               Can you tell ME
                               if It goes  away?
                                I just can't, I
                               can't live this way
                              These memories... they're here to stay
                            I'll make... I'll make
                             it some day... Yes
                         this memory, inside of me
                           ... In mind, for I can
                               see The way
                               we fought,
                               and died
                              For our
                           "Country,
                             Tis
                           of
      Thee"
