Lyrics
Here I am in a strange land
Thinking about my home
Mom and dad and Mary Ann
are so far away tonight
Battle stations
we move at dawn
The ememy has been sighted
Are you ready?
We must be strong
in our fight for freedom
Here I stand with a gun in my hand
I've never been so afraid
Today I watched a young man die
Now all I can do is cry
Red alert!
Warning, warning, warning...
The countdown has begun
Are you ready?
We must hold on
in our fight for freedom
Here I am in a strange land
Thinking about my home
My girlfriend and family
are so far away tonight
A telegram:
for the Cunninghams
Bad news!
We regret to inform you
Your son was killed yesterday
You should be proud
he died in honor
of his country and his flag
For his country and his flag
