M I A

She sits crying alone Where no one sees Under the shades Of the coconuts trees He promise to come back Now they say he is M.I.A He propose the day before Then they ship him away They meet in high school And become sweet hearts Then he was drafted As soon as the wars starts Now the day gets longer As the years moves on She never love again Couldn’t touch another one My oh my, how time flies As she tries to survive She was twenty then And now she’s forty five She never gives up hope She prays every day But no matter how much Her pain never goes away In a jungle prison cage There’s a mistreated man His spirits are broken But he is a proud American He thinks of only one girl Wonder if she still has his ring Maybe she forgotten him But he wishes to see her again He don’t know why today The soldiers set him free Left him to the side of the road After 25 years in captivity He was found and taken To the American embassy Where he eats all he can After years of being hungry She walks through lanes Of the grocery store She saw him in the drive way And he smile came back once more If you wish for it Sometimes it can come true So to all my friends I wish the best for you
