Thoughts of Home from Behind the Wire
Over the South China Sea
We could see China past the portside
wing
The forbidden land of our enemy
Who encouraged the Viet-Cong in our
destruction
But allowed us peaceably to pass
Refueling in Japan
We could see Japan from behind
chain-link fencing
The industrial land of an ally now
They sold us tape recorders and
radios
And airplane fuel from beyond the
wire
Thank you for your service
Honored fighters for freedom almost home
from the wars
Penned freely behind pig wire and
gates and bars
