A CHILD'S WALK
There is a place that someday I must go
A place that is Sacred and Hallowed
A place of pain and of healing,
A place where Soldiers go to find their Bro
There is a place that someday I must go
A place where there resides Soldiers Souls
Someday when courage I find
Someday I must make that walk
I must make that walk to find a name of mine
Someday when the courage I find
I have a gift that you left for me
Mommy said you called it Cuddles and it was for me
I have a very, very, very tattered and torn teddy bear
One ear is gone and I've carried him for so long
You left before I was born; you died in a far away land
I have your medals and badges and your funny green hat
Someday when I am brave, someday when I have a soldier's courage
Some day I will touch that cold Black Granite and touch your name
Someday when I am brave, then I will make that walk
Then I will find your name and then to you Cuddles I will give
To give you Peace and comfort as he has given me
Someday When I am brave, I will make that walk
I will forever and always be a child of Viet Nam
Someday when I am brave, someday when I am brave
Someday when I am brave, some day that walk I will make
