WHO DID I LEAVE BEHIND
©1990 - music and words by John R. Black, â„— 42nd Street Music Seattle
​
Who did I leave behind
When I came home from that lonely Asian War
Who did I leave behind
I just came home, picked up where I was before
Who did I leave behind
So many faces that I still can see
Faces without names
Memories still alive in me
(Chorus:)
It's time forgiveness was spoken
Time for tears of joy to fall
Time for brotherhood awoken
To end the heartache of it all
Who did I leave behind
With fair skin blue eyes and curly blond hair
Who did I leave behind
Were we just too young to understand and care
(Chorus)
​
For the many others still lonely
Wondering when they'll be free
It's time to cut the chains that keep life empty
So they may find liberty
