Lyrics
English: Must Jesus wear the cross alone... / Prayer for those in Vietnam / Oh god, to the army corp / I'm saying a prayer for those in Vietnam / Protect the boys...and please go with him... / So please father give the world peace and send them home / Because they've been away for far too long
