Why have you forgotten me
For all these fifty years
For I have sat in darkness
Thru beating and bloody tears
Not once have I forgotten
All the freedom I once had
But to know that you've forgotten
Makes me very, very sad
We all come here with a purpose
To defend and fight
For a people who had lost their freedom
And many died of fright
We were all so very young then,
Infallible we thought
But Lord we learned a lesson
One that cannot be taught
We watched a lot of our buddies die
As we struggled to live on
But some of us were captured
And some never made it home
I know those of you who fought here
Never gave up hope
And know that you still pray for us
That with this prison I can cope
Please don't let America forget
And tell them of my plea
Beg them to set me free
