Luyện nghe bài hát The Big Parade

Detroit to D.C. night
Capitol, East
Lone young man a seat
And by the rhythm of the
all his mother's mail
From a city boy in a jungle
Postmarked

He'll go his mother's dream
Join the slowest he'll ever see
Her weight of sorrows long and carried far
Take these Tommy to the

Metro line to the site with a tour of Japanese
He's wandering and lost until a vet in fatigues
Takes him down to where belong

a soldier, an ex-Marine
With a tattooed dagger and trembling
He bites his lip a widow breaking down
She takes her Purple
a fist, strikes the wall

All to live a dream
To join the slowest parade they'll see
Their weight of carried long and carried far
to the wall

It's 40 paces to the that he was slain
His hand's slipping down the wall for it's slick with
How would life ever been the same
If this had carved in it one less name?

But for Christ's sake, he's been dead over 20
He the letters asking
Who caused my mother's
Was it Washington or the Viet
deliberate steps are involved

He takes away from the black granite wall
Toward the monuments so white and clean
Potomac, what seen
had his war too, but an honest war
Or so taught in school
