Chorus: In the garden of Eden We can start all over again We'll build a heaven on earth, my friends In the Garden of Eden, in the Garden of Eden God made the sea and God made the land God made woman and God made man All of the life in the galaxy Is born of the same tree; is born of the same tree What a miracle to behold Life abounds a thousandfold Opens your eyes and dare to see What is and what can be, what is and what can be Bridge: Who can explain the gift of light The magic moment that creates life What a wonder to conceive Fruit of the tree Death someday will touch us all Nothing escapes big or small But till then let's dare to be All that we can be, all that we can be Chorus
I got out of school and I was feeling kinda down, I thought I'd join the Army just to take a look around. I went on down to the recruiter man And that's when all my troubles began. Well, I've been up, down and around This country more than a couple of times, But I never knew until I got into the Army That thinking for yourself was a crime. Get over here, stand over there, Let's see your identification. Shut your mouth, son, get back in line, We're sending you to South East Asia. Well, they gave me some shoes that hurt my feet They gave me some food not fit to eat, They told me that I wasn't fighting alone, They sent me to Saigon and they stayed home. Well, I've been up, down and around This country more than a couple of times, But I never knew until I got into the Army That thinking for yourself was a crime. Get over here, stand over there, Let's see your identification. Shut your mouth, son, get back in line, We're sending you to South East Asia. All right. One, two, three, four, We don't want your fuckin' war, A, B, C, D, Get someone else, hey don't get me, Left, right, left, right, You know the whole damn thing puts me uptight. I done my duty and I fought my fight And I thought I knew I was doing right, But that's all over, I'm free at last, An' if they want any more, they can kiss my ass. 'Cause I've been up and down and around This country more than a couple of times, But I never knew until I got into the Army That thinking for yourself was a crime. Get over here, stand over there, Let's see your identification. Shut your mouth, son, get back in line, We're sending you to South East Asia ? like hell.
She grew up in America, just the girl next door Never thought to question what we were fighting for They sent her off to war and showed her death and pain And the girl next door will never be the same Chorus: Guarding her patients with a 45 Checking the wounded to make sure they're alive By day she's in fatigues and at night she's in a dress She's everybody's savior, the Army combat nurse She told her girlfriends "I'll see you some old day I've joined the Army and they're sending me away" They taught her how to mend a wound and how to tend The sick But nothing could prepare her for all this Bridge: Women at home waiting all alone Women in life trying to do what's right Women in war in the blood and gore Women in death, they die just like the rest A jungle ain't a place for a girl to be alone Surrounded by the enemy with all the soldiers gone Under attack you know she's got to do her best Because she's everybody's savior, the Army combat nurse Back home in civilian life, Army life all done Childhood friends can't understand why she's not any fun But a vision of the wounded still screams inside her brain And the girl next door will never be the same She's everybody's savior but her own, the Army combat Nurse, but who will save her now? (Chaplain's rap) "Before I say grace today I'd like for us to pause for a moment of silence in memory of our friends that were lost this morning , . . let us pray for the food which we are about to receive from your goodness our father we give. . . ."

Life is a journey filled with mystery Twisting and turning you don't know what tomorrow will Bring After each valley there is a mountain to climb Put one foot in front of the other and pretty soon you'll Find Chorus: You're feeling a little bit better You're feeling a little bit better today You're feeling a little bit better Than you were feeling yesterday Yesterday was misery filled with tears and pain And when I lay down to sleep I didn't care if I ever got Back up again But while I lay sleeping a voice came in my dream Said hang on hang on, you don't know what tomorrow May bring Chorus: Feeling a little bit better Feeling a little better Feeling a little hit better Than I was feeling yesterday Yesterday I was feeling so bad - Yesterday I was feeling so sad Yesterday I was feeling so bad But I'm feeling better today
When I got back to my homeland I didn't have a thing where my parts used to hang So they gave me a medal and a fine harangue And now I'm a bloody hero Chorus: Mourn for the dead world-family If you want to be a hero follow me Mourn for the dead world-family If you want to be a hero follow me Now the boys and girls all envy me I fought for the military industry Now I can't walk and l can't see Now I'm a bloody hero The cluster bombs and the napalm blasts Automatic weapons and chemical gas Technology built to last Now I'm a bloody hero All over the world there are spots Where the war dead corpses lie and rot And every corpse is a patriot And every corpse is a hero
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain I don't care 'cause I got you here Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain I don't care 'cause I got you here Even if the sun won't shine I don't worry I know you're mine And I got you here Honey, I got you here Let it rain (etc.) Even if it starts to snow I don't worry because I know That I've got you here Bridge: The seasons change and change But my love for you stays the same The seasons change and change But my love stays the same (lst rap) "Boy, look at that weather out there. Isn't that somethin'? Sure is nice in here, isn't it? Yeah, let it pour, I don't care, it feels so nice just being here with you." (2nd rap) "Sure looks cold outside--It's nice and warm in here. Yeah, let's just forget about that cold weather, we've got each other, ummm yeah."
