Better Late Than Never (vietnam Vets)

Better Late Than Never They went across the ocean To fight in that Asian war On behalf of freedom, justice For peoples of that foreign shore. More than fifty-eight thousand men Faced wars' reality Bravely sacrificed their lives So that others might be free. Most of them were very young And now, it seems such a waste That war accomplished nothing And has left a bitter taste. Those who did survive came home To a country which turned away We didn't know how to greet them We didn't know what to say. They came home to a nation That said it didn't care Said it didn't want to know about What went on over there. The tide is finally turning Don't you think it's about time We gave some praise to all of those Who laid their life on the line? Del “Abe” Jones
