This is My Vietnam

life keeps on dropping bombs and I keep score. every day I fight a battle against the memories, against the pain. people are lunatics, they like to push my buttons and say I'm not good enough.
they'd kill to see me crumple and fall, they'd kill to see me defeated, so I hold my head up high and look at the sky and wait for more bombs to fall, because this is my Vietnam, and I'm at war. I am strong, I am beautiful no matter what they say, words can't hold me down. And this is my Vietnam, and I'm at war. Sometimes I ask: what do you except from me? what am I not giving you? what can I do for you to make me ok in your eyes? they give me their demands, to change my beliefs, to change my goals, to change my soul, so i keep fighting, and they keep on dropping more bombs. but I just keep score, because I know I will always win because I have faith on my side, and my army is of angels that protect me from the wounds. They help me heal so I can get up and fight again. So I can show this world there's more to me than bitterness and lies that they have created, I'll watch the bombs as they fall, and I'll keep walking forward to show them I am strong, I am beautiful, I am everything I wanted to be. This is my Vietnam, they keep on dropping bombs and I keep score. i don't need the media;s approval, they laughed and scorned at Christ, they laughed and scorned at Ghandi, so I follow them in their peaceful ways, I won't be the weak ones, who drop bombs, I'll be the one standing strong, with my head held high For I know I can never lose if I have faith on my side. So let them drop their damn bombs, let them weary themselves with war. I won't fight back with blood, but with peace and love. For in this world we have but one chance to make it, to do it right, to make a name for ourselves that people with be proud to say for generations to come. To be that change I need to see in the world. to turn the other cheek and forgive. For they are nothing without faith, though they think that they can win with their useless bombs, they do not see that they can not harm me. For I have faith on my side. They will crumble and fall in the end, while I stand strong, cuz the winner takes it all, and the loser has to fall. they may roll their dice, their minds as cold as ice, but the winner takes it all. So let the bombs continue to fall, because this is my Vietnam, and I'm at war. i don't need to know what you expect from me, I don't want to know what I can do for you to make me ok in your eyes. Because it doesn't matter, it never will, i can never fail, though this is my Vietnam, I am the one standing with her flag strong. I can teach you about freedom, about love and peace and all the great things that we take advantage of, but i won't teach you to hate, the world can do that for you. Fight back with love, not words or fists, for you give em a punch, they bleed, but the wound goes away, while the peace will always stay if you have faith in yourself, keep trusting God, you have an army of angels to protect you. never give in, never lose yourself to the bombs of society. make something of yourself, make your name known, love yourself no matter who you are. If you're gay that's ok, if you're straight, refuse to hate. skin is only color, love lasts foever. don't ever give in, don't ever give up, hold on it's gets better than you know. Because we all bleed the same way, and we all have the same things to go through, this is my Vietnam, I'm at war, but i can never lose I have God on my side, so bring on the pain, bring on the hate, I won't fall, and if I do, the one God wants me to become will catch me in a valley of angels, so go ahead take your best shot, you can never hurt me, you will never kill me, for I am strong, I am beautiful, i am everything that I want to be. i have a long road to journey, but I am not afraid of storms for i am learning to sail my ship. And I have a dream, a song to sing to cope with anything. I sing that song in my heart, my song is hope. it is my sword, my shield my armour, The world won't care who you are if you don't make a name for yourself, even then they might laugh and drop their bombs of hate on you. never give up, and never give in. Because you can never lose if God is on your side. So fight for hope, and fight for peace, fight for what you believe in, they May call you names, and hit you, but stand strong, you have an army of angels to guide you through this war. life's a bitch, it isn't meant to be easy. But that makes it all the more worth it. Be who you are, be proud of what you have, it's not the cards you hold, it's the ace you hide up your sleeve, play it well, and with God you will never fail. Society's crazy, society's mad, they have no reason, nor no mind. don't head their treacherous warnings, You have God, so you will never fail. Let the demons attack you, let the battle rage on, I have nothing to fear for I have God on my side, I don't need your fancy weapons, I have hope to sheild me, to be my sword, spit your bullets and throw your granads, you'll always miss cuz I have God on my side to battle the hate, to banish the pain, to give me victory over those who hurt me. this is my veitnam. and I'm at war.
