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
