You looked like a ghost
Someone I knew before
I'm looking 'bout a year ago
Something down on the floor
Hum... About a year ago
I saw your name in the clouds
It was a rolling by
About a mile high
I watched you go on by
Wooo... About a year ago
About a year ago
About a year ago...
They gave you a gun
Showed you how to run
And how to crawl on your stomach
Beneath the setting sun
You were lonely, She was lonely too
Your Baby was only three years old
But you...
You knew what you had to do
About a year ago...
They shipped you on the ship
You said it was a trip...
Until you sound off in the morning
And you got your gun out shining
About a year ago
You were a Soldier on the go
About a year ago...
Until you seen the sand
A bunch of hungry man
Looking for some Peace
But they didn't have it in their soul,
They wanted PEACE
But not our PEACE
They wanted some PEACE of their own
About a year ago...
About a year ago...
You were riding with some guys
From your group and then you heard the bomb
The a mighty sound...
You though what are we dying for?
Were not getting anywhere
What are we dying for?
Were not getting anywhere
No more, no more, no more
About a year ago, About a year ago, About a year ago
I sat by your wife, and your child
About a year ago
And Brother I miss you, I'm sorry that you had to go
About a year ago, nothing worth it, fi-ing for...
About a year ago, I'm sorry to let you go
About a year ago, you know I miss you so...
