WHAT DO YOU SEE
WHEN YOU LOOK AT A VET
GOING THROUGH HELL AND BACK
THEY WILL NEVER FORGET

TELLING THEM TO GO
NEVER HAVING A CHOICE
COMING HOME WAS WORSE
NO ONE WANTED TO HEAR THEIR VOICE

IN LATE 60'S AND 70'S WAS HORRIBLE
I'M ALMOST ASHAMED TO BE AN AMERICAN
PEOPLE TREATING THEM LIKE THE PLAGUE
NOT KNOWING HOW TO START AGAIN

NOW OUR SOLDIERS ARE HEROES
YES THEY SHOULD BE
FIGHTING FOR OUR COUNTRY
TO PROTECT YOU AND ME

I CANT IMAGINE THE PAIN
WHEN I SEE A VIETNAM VET
BEFORE I WAS BORN
STILL I WILL NEVER FORGET

A SHELL OF A MAN IS ALL THATS LEFT
SO FAR FROM THE BOY HE KNEW
TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE
FACE TO FACE WHAT WOULD YOU DO

ALL SOLDIERS ARE HEROES
SEEING THINGS NO ONE SHOULD
HOW CAN YOU JUST WALK ON BY
I NEVER EVER WOULD

WHEN YOU SEE A VET
TELL THEM THANK YOU
SHAKE THEIR HAND
GIVE THEM RESPECT,THAT'S WHAT YOU DO.
