Lyrics

Another POW song contributed by Ed Cray

I have not seen a flower for so long, for so long I have not seen a flower for so long I need to see a flower before my dying hour But I do not have the power as I bid this world so long

I have not seen a face … I have not seen a face … I need to see a face belonging to my race But I will not in this place as I bid this world so long

I have tried hard to forgive … I have tried hard to forgive … I have tried hard to forgive a God that lets me live Under laws he should forbid as I bid this world so long

I’ve been tortured in this cave … I’ve been tortured in this cave … I’ve been tortured in this cave wondering if I would be saved But it soon will be my grave as I bid this world so long

I’ve been held in Dong Danai … I’ve been held in Dong Danai … I’ve been held in Dong Danai and I very soon will die If you think this song’s a lie you are wrong, you are wrong
