Song My 1968

 

 

           I sing my song,

soft and dreadful song

my song, my song, Song My

 

O, hear her pain

drums within my heart

my song, sad song, Song My

 

in truth, My Lai

met Company C

and Death raised his baton

 

My Lai, her lie

finally came to light

all heard her symphony

 

Song My, My Lai

bodies soaked in blood

five hundreds left to lie

left to slowly die

sad song, My Lai

 

sing loud, My Lai

sing inside my soul

chant innocents shot down

 

My Lai, her truth

must not silent be

must chorus down through time

 

soft hum, a hymn

paean for the dead

sing her sad song, Song My

 

no lie, the truth

it was babies, too

never forget Song My
