Lyrics
Verse 1:
In the jungle of ‘69, the bodies's still burning,
Through the smoke and the haze, my heart keeps turning.
From Hamburger Hill, I just came back,
Haunted by screams, memories in blud.
Verse 2:
I'm on R&R, a soldier on the edge,
Women, cards, and weed, dangling from a ledge.
Saigon's neon lights, they moan my name,
But deep inside, I feel the shame.
Chorus:
Gotta get clean, leave the past behind,
Find my strength, clear my mind.
With my brothers in arms, we'll face the storm,
In the heart of 'Nam, where warriors are born.
Verse 3:
Flashes of battle, they haunt my dreams,
Silent cries and broken teams.
I see their faces, young and brave,
I won't let them down, I must be saved.
Verse 4:
The night is long, but the dawn will break,
Gotta clear my mind, for my comrades' sake.
No more drowning in this city's sin,
Time to cleanse my soul, find strength within.
Gotta get clean, leave the past behind,
Find my strength, clear my mind.
With my brothers in arms, we'll face the storm,
In the heart of 'Nam, where warriors are born.
Bridge:
Echoes of choppers, the roar of the fight,
Faces of fallen in the dead of night.
For every brother who's laid to rest,
I’ll fight for them, I’ll give my best.
Verse 5:
Morning sun rising, a new
Morning sun rising, a new day begins,
Leaving behind my tangled sins.
Eyes clear, heart strong, ready to stand,
With my rifle and gear, I'll face the land.
Chorus:
Gotta get clean, leave the past behind,
Find my strength, clear my mind.
With my brothers in arms, we'll face the storm,
In the heart of 'Nam, where warriors are born.
Verse 6:
Back to the front, where the battle roars,
Every step, every breath, for the cause we swore.
Through the chaos and pain, I'll find my way,
In the jungles of Vietnam, I’ll survive today.
Chorus:
Gotta get clean, leave the past behind,
Find my strength, clear my mind.
With my brothers in arms, we'll face the storm,
In the heart of 'Nam, where warriors are born.
