I’m sending you these letters
   Across miles and miles of water
   Tell Stevie that I saw his friend
   And the mother that I love her
   Well, I know I haven’t been here long
   And I know it seems much longer
   But every letter you write back
   Makes me a little stronger
   Everybody here has been as many years as me
   But only now they realize what they are here to see
   So I’ll take my pen and I write you a note
   And send it off in a letter
   And we’ll hope that writing my troubles down
   Will make me feel better
   One step forward and one step left
   I raise my gun and I take my aim
   I’m just a pawn in the government’s game
   The first day I was posted
   Was the longest I have known
   I can’t believe the bitterness
   The human heart can show
   The hatred of another is a blindness in their eyes
   All I do is stand between them
   Wondering why
   One step forward and one step left
   I raise my gun and I take my aim
   I’m just a pawn in the government’s game
   Little boy stands with stones in hand
   And cold eyes of steel
   I wish I could throw my riffle down
   And tell them how I feel
   Well, I know I haven’t been here long
   And I know it seems much longer
   But every letter you post to me
   Makes me a little stronger, stronger
