Across the Fields

Lyrics

[Verse]
Across the fields of Vietnam
Shadows of the old
Stories whispered in the wind
Tales of brave and bold
Soldiers lost and letters sent
Memories unfold
In the heartache of the night
The lonely sirens scold

[Verse]
Echoes of a distant land
Rifles in the dirt
Mothers' tears that stained the earth
Faces grim with hurt
Battles fought and battles won
Leaving scars so curt
Hoping for a day when peace would have its worth

[Chorus]
Can we find a way
Through the darkened storm?
Can we build a world
Where love is norm?
Children laugh and sing
And hearts stay warm
Striving for a place
Where no one's torn

[Verse]
Dreams were shattered
Lives undone
In the jungles far
Heroes buried
Flags at half
Beneath that same old star
Silent prayers were whispered then
Wishes in a jar
That someday ends the war and mends the scar

[Bridge]
Rivers flowed with mixed-up tears
Blending with the blood
Yet through the darkest nights
The spirit stood like wood
In the shadows of despair
Somewhere faith just stood
That someday all this pain would birth something good

[Chorus]
Can we find a way
Through the darkened storm?
Can we build a world
Where love is norm?
Children laugh and sing
And hearts stay warm
Striving for a place
Where no one's torn
