On the streets of the city
Chaos is king
The world is on fire
As freedom sets in
The fighting is over
But the war’s just begun
It’s the end of a promise
And the change that will come
My body is tired
But my heart aches for you
For the souls of your country
And what we put you through
We share the grief
Now I share your pain
And I wonder
Will you ever find freedom again?
And I wonder
Will you ever find freedom again?
Will you find freedom again?
On the wings of a phoenix
I look down below
The jungle’s still green
And the river still flows
The dead and the wounded
And the fatherless child
Are quickly forsaken
With fear running wild
The battle is over
But one flag still flies
It’s the love of freedom
I see in your eyes
When brother fights brother
No one can win
I wonder
Will you ever find freedom again?
And I wonder
Will you ever find freedom again?
Now I wonder
If you ever will
I wonder
Will you ever find freedom again?
No medals, no ribbons
No welcome parades
It’s a lonely road home
And a heavy price paid
Now I say a prayer
For those that we’ve laid
And I wonder
Will they ever find freedom again?
--- From Movie <Missing In Action III>, The Fall of Saigon.
