One Step Forward

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
