I don't have a PHD I don't own a car
My home is where I wander I sleep under a star
Scraps I eat for a meal
I don't beg and I don't steal
I proudly walk my head held high
In the country fought for Who am I?
I once was the same as you
I had a job and a family too
Then I was drafted and sent off to war
Very few questioned why or what for
When we departed everyone cheered
For us who returned everyone sneered
The country gave amnesty to those men who fled
They ended the war and built a wall for our dead
I visit my comrades their names etched on The Wall
I pray for their souls and I pray for us all
With a tear in my eye I quietly stand
If you remember this war you know who I am
