Duvall Productions - RD 4464 "Tribute to Brian Willson" - Vietnam veteran, peace activist (1) "Brian Willson we won't forget what you gave us today In peaceful disobedience, of the American way You tried to stop that gun train, so down the tracks you laid Brother Brian they took your legs, what a price to pay We saw you on the TV screen, the whole world heard your silent scream It must have felt like Vietnam, that's where you learnt the pain And I remembered all the things you'd done to bring an end to war You were a front line troop, you'd seen it all, and then you said 'no more'... Your fasting days in Washington with Charlies and the rest Reached out to all us citizens and we shared your quest In Central America you'd seen the holocaust, yes you did You went looked into those children eye's and you'd felt their love... So now you feel the pain of it, my front line freedom friend You gave until you had no more to give, then you gave again And now I look into your eyes…
