Well an old man said to me 

In a voice filled with pain 

Where you going young man 

Said I'm going to fight a war 

Gonna fight for my country 

In some foreign land 

He said "The sun will never hurt you 

Never harmed anyone 

But you must realize" 

If you try to stare her down 

She will win in the end 

She will burn your eyes 

She will burn them 

Seen a million places 

Seen a million faces die 

And I wonder who will walk with me 

When I get to Heaven 

He said "Boy I was young once 

Yeah I was tough 

Sailing on Uncle Sam's boat 

Hey I could kill the enemy 

I could die on foreign streets 

But I could not vote 

But now you walk by me 

You won't talk to me 

Say this is my fate 

But every time you walk the streets boy 

Most of them you meet 

You see it's you they hate 

It's you... 

Seen a million faces 

Seen a million places die 

And I wonder who will walk with me 

When I get to Heaven 

I hope I get there 

Seen a million places 

Seen a million faces die 

And I wonder who will walk with me 

When I get there 

See this woman sitting next to me 

She's been there for a long, long time 

And when I fell, she picked me up 

When I cried, she wiped my tears 

I thank god she's mine 

And when I leave this world 

She won't have anything 

But her love for me 

¡®Cause the man took everything else 

Made me hate myself 

So just let her be boy 

Won't you let her be
