This is my vietnam, a place where words replace bombs
Our souls have been scattered
Our shelters been shattered
Broken and beaten, so we seem to be battered
Now i've got to struggle, but i know i will strive
And I'll carry you with me until I'm not alive

Chorus:
This is my vietnam
Where words replace bombs
Souls have been scattered
Shelters are shattered
Losing the battle we have been battered
Life is struggle, but i will survive
And I'll carry you with me until i'm not alive

It's that look on your face
It's missing this place
It's pleading my case
It's leaving a trace
It's about trying to survive
Lonely as i am
i'll carry you with me
until i'm not alive

Chorus:(x's 2)
This is my vietnam
Where words replace bombs
Souls have been scattered
Shelters are shattered
Losing the battle we have been battered
Life is struggle, but i will survive
And I'll carry you with me until i'm not alive

Bridge: (x's 4) I want to survive So i'll carry you with me
until i'm not alive

Chorus; (one time)
This is my vietnam
Where words replace bombs
Souls have been scattered
Shelters are shattered
Losing the battle we have been battered
Life is struggle, but i will survive
And I'll carry you with me until i'm not alive
