Lyrics
English: They ask me why I fight and die in a far off land named Vietnam / I tell them why, because I'm free, and believe that all should be free like me / They ask me why, it's so far away in a far off land, named Vietnam / I tell them yes, it's far away, I fight to keep it from the USA / I want my children and all god's children to live in freedom like the USA / That's why I fight, and maybe die, in a far off land, named Vietnam / I want my children and all god's children to live in freedom like the USA / That's why I fight, and maybe die, in a far off land, named Vietnam
